Neos Rear Derailleur

Traditional rear derailleurs weren’t designed for small wheels: long cages leave little ground clearance and large parallelograms protrude awkwardly from the frame, vulnerable to damage. Enter the Dahon Neos, a rear derailleur we developed with Suntour, specifically to meet the unique requirements of small-wheeled bicycles. The ultra short cage doubles ground clearance. The ultra short cage also means that the Neos is one of the fastest and most precise shifting derailleurs on the market. Cache technology means that the derailleur body lies flush underneath the chainstays, safe from damage. The derailleur body only projects 12mm from the chainstays compared to typical derailleurs protrude by up to 40mm. Finally, we designed the Neos for Rapid-Rise shifters so that shifting up or down is light and precise.
