Wolf Tooth 11 Speed Goatlink Derailleur Hanger / Dropout

The GoatLink 11 hanger extension offsets the position of your 11-speed Shimano mountain bike rear derailleur allowing you to be able to run a wider range cassette while improving performance.

- Same ergonomics and reliability of Shimano shifters and derailleurs
- Gear range, simplicity and quietness of SRAM 1x11 drivetrain
- High-performance and lightweight

This project began with the desire to run 11-speed Shimano derailleurs and shifters with SRAM 10-42T XD cassettes. Granted the combination can work without modification - but performance wasn't quite what we'd expect from Shimano and SRAM's finest.

When used with a 10-42T cassette, the GoatLink 11 re-positions SLX M7000, XT M8000 and XTR M9000 rear derailleurs such that free chain length between the cassette and the top derailleur pulley is within 1% of what Shimano intended while cassette tooth engagement in the smallest cog is improved by 27%.

Knowing that certain situations call for a range beyond that provided 10-42T or 11-42T cassettes, we tweaked the GoatLink 11 to also significantly improve Shimano 11 spd rear derailleur performance with extended-range like the Wolf Tooth GCX44 modified 10-44T XX1 or X01 cassette.

Compatibility:
- 11-40T = Not required
- 11-42T = Not required
- 11-45T = GS/SGS Derailleur
- 11-46T = GS/SGS Derailleur
- 10-42T = GS/SGS Derailleur
- 10-44T = GS/SGS Derailleur (Wolf Tooth GCX44)
- 10-45T = Not optimized
- 9-44T = Not optimized

Other notes:
- The GoatLink 11 is compatible with SLX M7000, XT M8000 and XTR M9000 series 11-speed Shimano rear derailleurs
- The GoatLink 11 mounts only to standard derailleur hangers
- Double chainrings (2x) are supported and requires a long cage (SGS) rear derailleur with no more than a 12T difference in front chainrings (with an 11-46T cassette)
- Triple chainrings are not supported
- Direct Mount native frames and SRAM derailleurs are not supported
