Madrone's very own "Jab" derailleur, named after the iconic Jabberwocky trail right here in Ashland, Oregon! 

The Jab Derailleur is built for mid-to-high-end bikes of all kinds - MTB, gravel, e-bikes, and even road and downhill. Whether you’re building a new ride or replacing a tired derailleur, the Jab is designed to integrate seamlessly into your drivetrain.

Pre-order only!

You can reserve yours now by placing a pre order here. We will have units ready to ship in March/April of next year, and inventory will be limited.

This pre-order charge is not refundable, but does apply to your final total, which will be due at the time of shipping the derailleurs in the March/April 2025. 

Media coverage:

Here’s why we think you’ll love it:

  • Serviceability: Easily rebuilt with common tools.
  • Precision: Crisp, confident shifts– even after heavy use.
  • Compatibility: Flawless performance with multiple drivetrains (MTB or drop bar, 9, 10, 11, or 12 speed). Long, medium, and short cage options are available as well. You can learn more about compatibility here.
  • Durability: Optional stiffening plate for mount (similar to "direct mount" derailleurs). Fully CNC machined aluminum and stainless steel parts, with material in all the right places.
  • Serviceability: Fully rebuildable with standard tools. Madrone offers each part and provides technical videos and articles for support.
  • Value: A high end derailleur offering performance and freedom, all at a competitive price.
  • Support: We stand behind every product with thorough communication and detailed resources like service videos and technical guides .
  • Sustainability: Minimal plastics, recyclable materials, and fully replaceable parts.

Key specs:

  • Weight: 280g (long cage version). Medium and short cage versions available too.
  • Compatibility: Swappable cam for 9, 10, 11, or 12-speed drivetrains. Each cam is tuned to each gear for perfect shifting. We can pair any shifter with any cassette as long as the number of gears are equal. We already have cams for many drivetrain common configurations for MTB and drop bar style shifters, and we will continue to release new cams over time. The current list is:
    • MTB: SRAM 12 and 11 speed, Shimano 12 and 11 speed, SRAM/e13 12 speed, Shimano/e13 12 speed.
    • Drop Bar: Shimano 12 and 11 speed, SRAM 11 Speed.
    • Others: More on the way for others such as 9 speed, unusual combinations, etc.
  • Mounting types: There are 2 mounting types. One is a conventional derailleur hangar mount. The other uses a UDH hangar with an extra external plate to add strength and stiffness, similar to "direct mount" style derailleurs. You can convert between the 2 on the same derailleur.
  • Colors: We plan to offer several color options, but will not be offering a rainbow of anodizing colors. We will always offer a mostly silver and mostly black version, as well as 1 or 2 popular color schemes, which may evolve seasonally. We will be polling people prior to determining color runs, so please follow us on Instagram or Facebook if you want to weigh in!
