Shimano Tiagra RD-4700-SS 10-Speed Rear Derailleur – Short Cage, 2x10 Road

MPN IRD4700SS / UPC 689228927148 / Model RD-4700-SS / New

Tiagra 4700 is where Shimano’s road technology stops being expensive. This generation borrowed the shift architecture and the Shadow low profile body from the tiers above it, so a 10-speed bike shifts with the same precise feel as an 11-speed one costing far more. The short SS cage keeps the chain tight and the action quick, exactly what you want on a road double.

Will it fit your bike?

Shimano 10-speed road, 2x drivetrains, up to 28T

This is the short cage (SS) version for 2x10 road drivetrains (Tiagra 4700, 105 5700 and compatible 10-speed systems). It takes a maximum sprocket of 28T with a 33T total capacity, which suits 11-25T and 11-28T cassettes. Check your cassette first. If you run 11-32T or 11-34T, or a triple chainring, you need the medium cage GS version, not this one. Not included: shift cable and housing. Send us your cassette range and we will confirm the cage before you order.

What makes it special

Shadow low profile body. The derailleur sits closer to the frame than older designs, so it is better protected and less likely to be damaged if the bike goes over.
4700 generation shifting. Tiagra 4700 was the redesign that brought the modern shift ratio down from 105, which is why it feels crisper than the 4600 it replaced.
Short cage precision. Less cage means less chain slap and a faster, more definite shift across a road block.
Cable actuated simplicity. No batteries, no charging, no pairing. Set the limit screws and the indexing and it just works.
The sensible replacement. If your 10-speed bike needs a new rear mech, this is the direct fit at a fraction of the cost of stepping up a group.
