Nova Ride EVO VS Carbon Ceramic Derailleur Cage – Shimano Dura-Ace / Ultegra 12 Speed

The Nova Ride EVO VS Carbon Ceramic Derailleur Cage is a premium drivetrain upgrade designed to reduce friction, improve shifting efficiency, and enhance drivetrain durability — combining a varnished (V) finish with solid pulley wheels (S) for increased stiffness and drivetrain control.

Built around a full 3K carbon structure and paired with fully ceramic bearings, the EVO VS delivers measurable performance gains through reduced drivetrain resistance and improved power transfer. The gloss black varnished finish provides a refined aesthetic while adding a protective layer for long-term durability.

The solid pulley design (S) increases structural rigidity at the pulley interface, delivering a more direct and stable drivetrain response under load — particularly suited to high-torque efforts and race conditions.
