# microSHIFT Acolyte RD-M5180M-B Rear Derailleur - 8 Speed Medium Cage Black

Not everyone needs the added chain retention provided by our innovative SpringLock system. For those riders microSHIFT offers a non-clutch version of their Acolyte derailleur. While still capable of handling a 12-46t cassette the rear derailleur is the perfect choice for commuter or touring bikes that can benefit from using a wide range 1x gearing system.-   Direct path cable routing for smooth and responsive shifting
-   In addition to 8-Speed cassettes this rear derailleur is also compatible with 12-42t and 12-46t 9-speed cassettes (requires Advent 9-speed shifter)
-   Compatible with Acolyte 8-speed or Advent 9-speed shifters only
