From Price Point:

The benchmark of cross country component design

XTR® has been designed to give that expected Shimano reliability while adopting a new generation of shifting, drivetrain and braking systems. From the easy and flexible shifting performance of the Dual Control shift lever to the super-lightweight, linear response, & ultra-light disc brake design, XTR continues to be the benchmark of off-road cross-country component design.

The wide pivot link design boosts strength and rigidity. Flex is suppressed, creating sharp, precise shifts that are faster and smoother, even from low to high gears off of the saddle. Also, Shimano uses a Double Servo-Panta Mechanism which keeps the guide pulley close to each sprocket to allow for smooth and precise shifting you've come to expect with Shimano.

Shimano XTR M970 Rear Derailleur Long Cage features Low Normal return spring, Dual Control Lever compatibility, 11-tooth sealed bearing pulleys, Mega-9 gearing compatibility, and detachable rubber bumper.
