Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Designed with an SGS-long cage length, accommodating a wide range of gearing options for different riding styles.
  • Offers a substantial 45T capacity, allowing for versatile cassette choices and gear ratios.
  • Compatible with 7-speed, 8-speed, and 9-speed drivetrains, providing flexibility for various bicycle setups.
  • Features a traditional top-normal derailleur action, familiar to many riders and easy to adjust.
  • Supports a large cog of up to 34 teeth, which is beneficial for climbing steep inclines.
  • Lightweight construction at 310g contributes to overall bicycle weight reduction.

👎 Cons

  • The derailleur does not come in retail packaging, which may affect presentation or perceived value for some buyers.
  • Only available in black, which might not match all bicycle aesthetic preferences.
  • Specifically designed for SRAM 1:1 drivetrain spacing, limiting compatibility with other shifter brands.
  • Maximum largest cog supported is 34 teeth, which may not be sufficient for riders seeking extremely low gearing with wider range cassettes.
  • The 7/8/9-speed compatibility means it is not suitable for modern 10, 11, or 12-speed drivetrains.
