Making front derailleurs that work well is equal parts art and science. We combine meticulous design details with precision manufacturing to deliver front derailleurs that shift predictably and smoothly. Stiff, strong mounting hardware, and sensible cable routing round everything out into an easy-to-use package.

If you know a bike mechanic that’s been around for a while, you may notice that they sometimes get a little nostalgic for 9-speed drivetrains. 9-speed is super versatile, easy to adjust, and tolerant of all kinds of abuse. R9 embodies that versatility and durability. With a wide variety of shifter, derailleur, and cassette options, you can use R9 to set up a road bike almost any way that you want. It also slots in easily as a replacement part if your existing drivetrain wears out or breaks. It’s not fancy, but sometimes normal is exactly what you’re looking for.
