Upgrade shifting performance with Garbaruk Rear Derailleur Pulleys, engineered for efficiency and smooth gear changes
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"Swapping to these derailleur pulleys gave my drivetrain a smoother, more responsive feel with improved shifting accuracy. The oversized lower pulley allows for better chain wrap and more stable gear changes, especially when paired with a Garbaruk RD cage. The lightweight CNC-machined aluminum construction ensures durability while keeping weight to a minimum. These pulleys offer an instant performance boost for any SRAM setup."
The Garbaruk Rear Derailleur Pulleys for SRAM take shifting performance to the next level, providing enhanced efficiency, reduced friction, and precise gear changes. Whether climbing steep switchbacks, powering through technical descents, or pushing for maximum speed, these pulleys improve drivetrain smoothness and durability.
Crafted from 7075-T651 aluminum, they offer an ultra-lightweight yet incredibly strong solution for riders who demand peak performance. The oversized lower pulley enhances chain wrap and cassette engagement, keeping shifts crisp and consistent under load. With precision bearings that reduce rotational resistance, each shift feels seamless and effortless.
Designed to integrate with SRAM 11-speed and 12-speed drivetrains, these pulleys work as a direct upgrade to standard derailleur cages or as part of a Garbaruk RD cage system for extended cassette range. The anodized finish, available in multiple colors, adds a sleek, customized look while providing extra protection against wear.
For riders looking to enhance shifting speed, drivetrain longevity, and overall efficiency, these derailleur pulleys deliver a performance boost that can be felt on every ride.

Sick little upgrade
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Got the 12T+14T version for my X01 thats been ridden hard since 2021 and I'm stoked so far. They went on easy and look nice. A clean and affordable little upgrade from the plastic stock pulleys
