The new oversized aerodynamic cage (OSPW) Nova Ride is specifically designed for 12-speed SRAM AXS Rival, Force, and RED derailleurs. The aerodynamic structure was developed and optimized using advanced software and rigorous wind tunnel testing.

Features and Innovations:

Redefined Aerodynamics: Reduction of aerodynamic drag with particular attention to optimizing frontal impact and smoothing rear airflow. This is made possible by the unique airfoil profile design (closed structure both at the front and rear).
Structural Optimization: The addition of aerodynamic material compared to standard versions required targeted redesign: the thickness of the ultra-light carbon fiber plates was optimized by 33% in key areas to contain weight without compromising structural durability.
Maintenance-Free Performance: Full-ceramic dry bearings ensure free rotation, reduced friction, and a total absence of grease. The contact between the balls and the retainer cage, both entirely made of ceramic, extends the component's service life by drastically reducing wear.
Efficiency-Oriented Development: The essential design reflects this component's absolute priority: uncompromising efficiency, the result of months of development and technical data analysis.

Installation and Maintenance:

Cassette: It is recommended to use a cassette with a maximum of 36 teeth to ensure optimal adjustment and shifting.
Chain: To ensure maximum performance, replacing the chain at the time of installation is strongly recommended, adding 2-4 extra links compared to the standard length.
Longevity and Lubrication: The robust design features aluminum pulleys (characterized by minimal wear compared to standard plastic ones) and full-ceramic bearings protected by dedicated covers. The system operates entirely dry and minimizes the need for technical intervention: no grease is required.
Cleaning: Thanks to the 100% ceramic composition, the system is completely immune to oxidation. In case of debris accumulation between the covers and bearings during use, a simple wash with water or degreaser is sufficient.
Important Warning: As these bearings are designed to work dry, NEVER apply any type of lubricant.
