More range and finer gear selection
A broad 309% gear range provides useful high-speed gearing while giving riders a 34T climbing sprocket for hills and demanding everyday terrain.
Heat-treated steel sprockets provide durability for commuting, touring, recreational MTB, and high-mileage riding.
Shift ramps and carefully profiled teeth help improve chain pickup, release, and indexed shifting across all nine sprockets.
Designed for compatible conventional HG-type splined freehub bodies widely used on 8-, 9-, and selected 10-speed bicycle wheels.
A protective metallic surface finish helps reduce oxidation caused by rain, sweat, road spray, and regular outdoor use.
The Ryden 9-Speed Cassette is designed as a versatile rear gearing solution for riders who need more range and finer gear selection than a traditional 7- or 8-speed drivetrain provides.
Nine rear sprockets allow the cassette to combine a practical 11T high gear with a much easier 34T low gear while still maintaining relatively manageable steps between gears.
The cassette uses hardened steel sprockets for dependable wear resistance, making it suitable for bicycles that see regular commuting, recreational off-road riding, touring, fitness riding, or general transportation.
Ryden SmoothShift 9 tooth profiling uses strategically shaped pickup teeth, release points, and shift ramps to help guide the chain between sprockets during indexed shifts. The cassette mounts onto a compatible HG-style splined freehub body and is secured with the included lockring.
Compared with the Ryden 8-Speed Cassette, it offers one additional gear, a broader range, finer progression, and improved shifting precision, while remaining affordable and serviceable. The result is a strong mid-range drivetrain component for riders who want more versatility without moving into the higher cost and narrower tolerances of 10-, 11-, or 12-speed systems.

Questions about this product (15)
A (Ryden team): It has nine rear sprockets.
What is the standard gear range?+
11–34T.
What sprocket progression does it use?+
The standard version uses 11-13-15-17-20-23-26-30-34T.
Is there a wider-range version?+
Yes. An 11–36T Wide Range version is available.
What chain should I use?+
Use the Ryden 9-Speed Chain or another compatible 9-speed chain.
Is this cassette compatible with an 8-speed chain?+
We recommend a dedicated 9-speed chain, such as the Ryden 9-Speed Chain, for proper shifting and fit.
Can I use it with 1×9?+
Yes.
Can I use it with 2×9?+
Yes, provided derailleur capacity and other drivetrain components are compatible.
Can I use it with 3×9?+
Yes, where the derailleur has sufficient total capacity.
Does it fit a threaded freewheel hub?+
No. It requires a compatible splined freehub.
Which freehub standard does it use?+
It uses a conventional Shimano HG-style spline interface.
Will the 11–36T version work with any 9-speed derailleur?+
No. The derailleur must explicitly support at least a 36T largest sprocket.
Is a lockring included?+
Yes.
When should the cassette be replaced?+
Replace it when wear causes skipping or unreliable chain engagement, or when the sprockets are physically damaged.
Why does a new chain sometimes skip on an old cassette?+
The old cassette may have worn to match the elongated old chain. A new chain can then fail to mesh correctly with the worn sprocket teeth.
