The microSHIFT R9 Right Drop Bar Shift Lever is a dependable, cost-effective solution for 9-speed road and gravel drivetrains that use Shimano-compatible cable pull. Designed as a direct-fit replacement or practical alternative, it delivers crisp, reliable shifting without the premium price tag.
As the right-side lever, it controls rear derailleur shifting and uses a familiar dual-control lever format for intuitive operation from both the hoods and the drops. The ergonomic hood shape provides comfortable hand positioning for long rides, while the internal mechanism is built for consistent performance and easy serviceability.
This lever is an excellent choice for riders maintaining older 9-speed bikes, endurance road builds, gravel conversions, or shop service replacements where compatibility and reliability are the priority.
