Unleash the full potential of your drivetrain with the MICROSHIFT XCD 11-Speed Rear Derailleur, the pinnacle of performance in the Microshift lineup. Engineered for riders who demand precision, durability, and reliability on the most challenging trails and remote gravel roads, the XCD is your key to confident and crisp shifting, every single time. Designed for both demanding MTB cycling and adventurous gravel cycling, this derailleur delivers top-tier features to elevate your ride.

The XCD 11 is a bicycle rear derailleur for 11-speed transmission. As the top of the range from Microshift, it embodies the brand´s commitment to quality and robust performance. Whether you´re climbing steep singletrack or powering through a chunky gravel sector, the XCD derailleur is built to handle it all, making it the perfect upgrade for any 11-speed mountain or gravel bike build.

At the heart of the XCD derailleur lies a robust and reliable ratchet-and-pawl clutch system. This crucial feature provides exceptional chain security by applying consistent force to prevent chain slap and reduce the risk of dropped chains when the terrain gets rough. Unlike sealed, non-serviceable units, the XCD´s clutch is fully adjustable to suit your preference and is completely serviceable, ensuring long-term performance and easy maintenance for years of hard riding. This means a quieter, more secure drivetrain and the confidence to push your limits.

Crafted from strong and lightweight aluminum, the derailleur´s construction is optimized for both strength and efficiency. The medium cage design strikes the perfect balance for wide-range 1x drivetrains, offering flawless compatibility with 11-speed cassettes up to a 46T cog. A direct cable path ensures that every input from your shifter is translated into an immediate and precise gear change, eliminating ghost shifting and hesitation. This reliable mechanical simplicity is what makes the MICROSHIFT XCD a trusted choice for riders who venture far from the workshop.
