Perfect for both road cycling and gravel adventure riding disciplines, this 9 speed rear derailleur provides smooth and reliable shifting operation wherever your next ride takes you. Benefitting from a wider linkage, this model ensures maximum durability with more precise shifting. Its B tension spring also delivers quick and easy wheel installation and removal. Coming complete with high-level surface treatment for extra protection against wear, this rear mech is all set for clocking up the miles.
The 9-speed gear cluster actualises close-ratio gearing without impairing wide gear range.
The distinctively designed Hyperglide sprockets incorporate specially positioned shift ramps and tooth profiles for improved chain control during shifting. Fast and responsive indexed shifting is the result. The HG cassette sprocket, which was developed for the MTB 10-speed system, underwent comprehensive optimization to achieve super-highly efficient shifting.
The mechanism rear derailleur, Shimano Shadow RD, is intended for more aggressive riding. Its super low-profile design carries many benefits. Because of its low profile and single tension construction, the derailleur does not hit the chain stay in rough riding conditions. The result is smooth and silent performance.
