As with the mechanical parts, the rear derailleur represents the pride & joy of the EPS project & encompasses a series of technologies & innovations that allow shifting speed to be optimised & guarantee unprecedented precision, even in the case of multiple shifting with 11 sprockets at a time. The EPS rear derailleur is comprised mainly of a mechanical structure, derived from the mechanical gear & composed of a derailleur rod/parallelogram/derailleur cage, of a worm screw enabled by an electronic actuator. As with the derailleur, the electronic rear derailleur actuator is composed of a gear motor & a sensor, the built-in resolver, that reads its movements. The geometry of the parallelogram has been made more rigid & optimised to promote interaction with the electronic parts. The lower & upper bodies, the parallelogram & the carbon derailleur cage are moved by a screw system & lead worm screw (not a spring screw) which, in turn, is enabled by the electronic actuator that communicates with the DTI. The built-in resolver inside the actuator is capable of reading the movements of the rear derailleur at any time & optimising its position by communicating with the DTI (Digital Tech Intelligence). The rear derailleur is also equipped with a play recovery system using a helicoidal spring that optimises stability & precision & keeps operation & performance constant over time, even after many kms have been covered. As with the mechanical rear derailleur, it is possible to optimise its position with respect to the frame & chain by acting on two adjusting screws: the screw that adjusts the mechanical end stop & the screw that adjusts the distance between the upper pulley & sprockets. By using these screws it is possible to optimise the installation of the rear derailleur & increase the precision of its operation. Key
Features: DTI: Digital Tech Intelligence is housed inside the Power Unit & it continuously monitors the signals that arrive from all the EPS components, thus managing their operation. Multi-Shifting: There are no longer any limits to Multi-shifting & the choice is at the fingertips of the cyclist. Ride Back Home: The uncoupling mechanism of the rear derailleur is useful if the battery runs out on the road, allowing you to manually uncouple the rear derailleur to position it on which ever sprocket you require Water Proof: In order to achieve the IP67 classification, all the electronic components of the EPS system underwent a series of tests, which proved their ability to function perfectly under one meter of water for at least 30 minutes.
