Shimano has introduced the new DEORE XT M8200 mechanical drivetrain, which brings new technology to 11- and 12-speed drivetrains. The updated groupset features various innovations, including Linkglide and Shadow ES, as well as a "high-torque eMTB" option. However, there is some uncertainty about whether the new XT drivetrain is mechanical or wireless, as some reports suggest a cable-actuated system while another mentions a wireless option.
