Top-of-the-line performance for your Shimano 11-speed drivetrain

Designed for Shimano R8000 Ultegra and R9100 Dura-Ace 11-speed groupsets, the Nova Ride carbon rear derailleur cage with ceramic bearings offers a top-tier technical upgrade for demanding cyclists. Compatible only with short-cage Shimano derailleurs, this optimization component improves the overall efficiency of your drivetrain by reducing friction and maximizing shifting smoothness. It's ideal for both competitive riders and bike mechanics enthusiasts looking for measurable performance gains.

Carbon construction and ceramic bearings for optimal performance

The derailleur cage body is made entirely of CNC-machined carbon fiber, ensuring both lightness and rigidity. The two oversized pulleys (14 teeth on top, 17 teeth on the bottom) are mounted on sealed ceramic bearings , renowned for their exceptional smoothness and superior durability compared to traditional steel bearings . This design reduces internal chain friction, decreases derailleur cage spring tension, and thus optimizes power transfer over long distances.
