Dura-Ace RD-R9250 Di2 Rear Derailleur

Get ready for the “Science of Speed”!

With the Dura-Ace RD-R9250 Di2 12-speed rear derailleur, SHIMANO is literally stepping up a gear and taking its top electronic shifting group for road bikes to the next level. Whether minimum gear steps or maximum gear range: In combination with a matching SHIMANO 12-speed road cassette with up to 34 teeth, the 215 gram RD-R9250 rear derailleur as master unit allows you to adjust your drivetrain even more precisely to your requirements.

For this, the HG+ chain and tooth profile is also used for the first time in the road range, which improves the chain engagement and thus promises a smoother drivetrain power transfer and less wear. Reliable and crisp gear shifts are ensured by the proven Di2 technology, which has been further developed by SHIMANO and, together with a compatible brake/shift lever, now also transmits the shifting commands wirelessly to the rear derailleur. Cables are thus only needed for the connection to the battery, which can now be charged directly on the rear derailleur via a charging port. However, those who prefer wired connections can continue to connect the components with cables instead. What’s more, the shifting speed of the predecessor has been increased by up to 58 percent, according to SHIMANO.

Of course, the 2021 Di2 generation also offers the option of customising shifter assignments and synchronising rear and front derailleur in different modes. Define the gears at which the front derailleur automatically shifts, or let the rear derailleur make compensating shifts as soon as you operate the front derailleur. Thanks to integrated Blutetooth and ANT+ connectivity, you can easily make all settings with your smartphone and the SHIMANO E-Tube app. Or you can quickly change modes at the touch of a button on the rear derailleur, where you can also read the battery status.

That’s electronic shifting at Dura-Ace level – that’s the SHIMANO Dura-Ace RD-R9250 Di2 12-speed rear derailleur!
