Beautiful early 2000s Shimano XTR rapid rise RD-M960 SGS super long cage rear mech for 9 speed drivetrains. Relatively modern by our usual standards, this is however nearly 25 years old, rapid rise was the short lived innovation we love here too. With some light scratches from storage this is a really highly finished, lightweight MTB rear mech, right at the end of their prime before the uglification kicked in (IMHO!).
