Enhance Your Shimano Derailleur with CyclingCeramic Oversized Cages

Welcome to our selection of CyclingCeramic oversized derailleur cages for Shimano road groupsets. These high-performance cages have been extensively tested and refined over the years, offering a sleek design and ceramic bearings for enhanced drivetrain efficiency. Our 2025 range introduces improved aerodynamics and aesthetics, making them a must-have upgrade for performance-oriented cyclists.

2025 Range: Race and Pro Models

  • 105 Race & 105 Pro: Designed for Shimano 105 derailleurs, these models share a similar structure but differ in their pulleys.
  • Ultegra & Dura-Ace Race: Optimized for weight and durability, these cages bring a refined look and enhanced efficiency.
  • Ultegra & Dura-Ace Pro: Featuring aerodynamic pulleys, these are the ultimate choice for time trialists and triathletes.

Why Choose CyclingCeramic?

  • Unmatched Efficiency: The combination of ceramic bearings and precision-machined pulley wheels reduces chain friction and improves power transfer.
  • Proven Performance: A long-standing market presence with rigorous real-world testing, now endorsed by the Arkéa team in 2025.
  • Customization: The Race models allow you to personalize your bike with colored pulley wheels, while the Pro models maximize performance with aero pulleys.
  • Lightweight & Rigid: Carbon construction enhances stiffness while reducing weight.

Installation and Compatibility

Installing the 2025 CyclingCeramic cages follows the same process as previous models. Shimano derailleurs require an additional 2-4 chain links and a new chain. Don't forget to adjust the tension screw on the rear of Shimano derailleurs, an often-overlooked step that ensures optimal performance.

Maintenance

CyclingCeramic cages require minimal maintenance. A small bottle of oil is included with every purchase. To clean the ceramic bearings, simply remove the pulleys and lift the seals with a screwdriver to apply fresh grease. We recommend doing this every 10,000 km or when changing your chain. Compared to bottom brackets, these cages require far less maintenance.

Which Model to Choose?

  • Time Trials & Triathlons: Opt for the Pro or Aero models for maximum efficiency.
  • Road Cycling: Choose the Race or Pro models for a blend of performance and style.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Race and Pro models?

The main difference lies in the pulley wheels. The Race models feature colored pulleys for customization, while the Pro models come with aerodynamic pulleys optimized for maximum performance.

Do I need special tools to install a CyclingCeramic cage?

No, the installation process is straightforward and similar to that of a standard derailleur cage. You will need to extend your chain by a few links and adjust the tension screw.

How often should I service my CyclingCeramic derailleur cage?

We recommend checking the bearings and applying grease every 10,000 km or whenever you replace your chain.

Why are CyclingCeramic cages more efficient than stock cages?

Two key reasons: ceramic bearings that reduce friction and specially shaped pulley wheels that minimize chain stress. Additionally, the carbon construction enhances stiffness and reduces weight.
