The Shimano Inner Plate GS Type XT is a genuine replacement part designed specifically for Shimano XT rear derailleurs with a GS (medium) cage. As part of the derailleur cage assembly, the inner plate plays a crucial role in guiding the chain smoothly across the cassette, helping to maintain crisp, reliable shifting under load. Using an original Shimano plate ensures perfect fit and alignment with the existing cage, pulley wheels, and derailleur body, which is essential for long-term drivetrain performance on demanding mountain bike rides.
This inner plate is ideal for riders refurbishing a worn or damaged XT derailleur, or mechanics who want to restore factory-level shifting without replacing the entire unit. Built to Shimano’s proven standards, it is engineered to handle off-road conditions, frequent shifting, and the higher chain tension typical of modern MTB drivetrains. Pairing this plate with fresh jockey wheels and a clean chain can noticeably improve shifting precision and reduce noise. It’s a smart, cost-effective way to extend the life of your XT rear derailleur and keep your bike running at its best.
