The Wolf Tooth Goatlink derailleur hanger extension offsets the position of your 11-speed Shimano rear derailleur, improving long-term shifting performance and making it possible to run larger range cassettes in an optimal position.
If you’re looking to climb the steepest climbs on a 1x set up, this is a hassle-free way to do so.
The GoatLink grew out of a desire within Wolf Tooth's team to run 11-speed Shimano derailleurs and shifters with SRAM 10-42t XD cassettes without compromising shifting performance.
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%.
