microSHIFT Acolyte 8 Speed V2 Rear Derailleur - Medium Cage - Black
There are plenty of obstacles in the trail – don’t let your drivetrain be one of them. Our all-new Acolyte group delivers the wide range and simplicity of a top-of-the-line shifting system, all at a price point that would make sense on your first bike. With rock solid chain retention, intuitive shifting action, and enough gear range to climb a wall, you’ll be free to focus on what’s important: building your skills.
Designed for 20" Wheels: The ideal mountain bike drivetrain for kids has arrived. Every detail is covered, including a trigger shifter with short reach and easy actuation for small hands, a derailleur with a real clutch and full metal construction for hard riding, and a cassette with wide enough range to climb with the adults.
SpringLock: The heart of the Acolyte derailleur is our innovative SpringLock system. By pairing a customized linear rate high tension spring and a dual stage activation mechanism, we’ve developed a system that can provide substantial chain security when you need it and can be turned off when you don’t.
