SRAM Derailleur Cages: Optimization and Performance

CyclingCeramic derailleur cages for SRAM are designed to enhance smoothness and reduce friction. Thanks to their oversized pulleys and ceramic bearings, they optimize drivetrain efficiency for SRAM 10, 11, and 12-speed groupsets, including AXS and XPLR.

Whether you ride road, gravel, or triathlon, an optimized cage can extend the lifespan of your drivetrain and increase efficiency by reducing energy losses.

What are the advantages of CyclingCeramic cages for SRAM?

  • Reduced friction → smoother drivetrain.
  • High-quality ceramic bearings → increased durability.
  • Oversized pulleys (14/19 or 16/16) → improved chain movement.
  • Compatible with all SRAM 10, 11, and 12-speed groupsets.
