Crisp, clean shifts
SRAM’s T-Type rear derailleur does a lot of heavy lifting to offer smooth shifts. It starts with the direct-mount system, which keeps the cassette and derailleur aligned at all times, but the derailleur doesn’t do all the work on its own.
The derailleur pairs with a stronger, thinner chain and a cassette that’s engineered with mapping that controls when and where shifts happen to keep every shift as precise as possible. This mapping helps your chain engage with the cog you’re currently in and the cog you’re shifting into at the same time, allowing you to put power down through the whole shift – perfect for keeping momentum when you need to quickly downshift on technical climbs.
