Rear

Not everyone needs the added chain retention provided by our innovative SpringLock system. For those riders, we offer a non-clutch version of our Acolyte derailleur. While still capable of handling a 12-46T cassette, the rear derailleur is the perfect choice for commuter or touring bikes that can benefit from using a wide range 1x gearing system. - Direct path cable routing for smooth and responsive shifting - Compatible with 12-42T and 12-46T 9-speed cassettes - Compatible with Acolyte shifters only

R-series rear derailleurs are designed to work with Shimano-compatible road shifters. These R9 rear derailleurs combine compatibility, weight savings, and a robust design. - Weight-saving aluminum bracket body and outer link - Steel pulley cage for extra chain-rub durability - Compatible with Shimano 9 and 10-speed road systems - Not compatible with Shimano Tiagra 4700 road system - Short cage for double crankset 28T max cog setup - Medium cage for double crankset and 34T max cog - Long cage for triple crankset and 28T max cog
