{"product_id":"pilo-d996-derailleur-hanger-for-airwolf","title":"Derailleur Hanger for Airwolf, Elves","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D996 Derailleur Hanger is a precision-engineered replacement dropout designed specifically for Airwolf frames. On India's varied road surfaces — from the cracked tarmac of city commutes to the rough descents of Lonavala or Coorg — a snapped hanger is a ride-ending inconvenience. Carrying a spare Pilo hanger means you are back rolling within minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndian riding conditions are hard on drivetrain components. Pilo's D996 is machined to tight tolerances, ensuring clean derailleur alignment that protects your rear mech from the kind of knock damage that is almost inevitable on the potholed roads around Pune or the gravel patches near Ooty. This is a consumable part that every Airwolf owner should keep in their saddlebag or toolkit at all times — inexpensive insurance for an expensive frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a frame-specific part and sizing is determined entirely by your frame, not your body. Confirm you own an Airwolf-brand frame before ordering. No heat or fit considerations apply, but keep a spare at home and one in your riding kit bag, especially during monsoon season when road debris increases the risk of hanger strikes significantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe D996 is designed exclusively for Airwolf frames. It is compatible with standard derailleur bolt patterns and works with both mechanical and electronic rear derailleurs. Inspect the hanger after any impact. Clean threads with a dry cloth before installation and use a thread-checking tool to confirm alignment post-fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRound out your drivetrain protection with a quality rear derailleur, a derailleur hanger alignment tool for home workshop use, a compact multi-tool for trailside fixes, and a spare derailleur cable set — all available at Cobbled Climbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pilo\"\u003eExplore the full Pilo collection at Cobbled Climbs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy from Cobbled Climbs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% genuine — authorised Pilo retailer in India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree delivery on orders above Rs. 2,500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCash on delivery available nationwide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-day easy returns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipped from Mumbai\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpert advice — our team rides this gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e.cc-faq{margin:32px 0 24px}.cc-faq__item{border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;margin:0}.cc-faq__item:last-of-type{border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5}.cc-faq__q{cursor:pointer;list-style:none;padding:24px 0;display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:24px;outline:none}.cc-faq__q::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.cc-faq__q:focus-visible{outline:2px solid #000;outline-offset:-2px}.cc-faq__q::after{content:\"\";width:14px;height:14px;flex-shrink:0;background-image:url('data:image\/svg+xml;utf8,\u003csvg viewBox=\\\"0 0 14 14\\\" xmlns=\\\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\\\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\\\"M2 5l5 5 5-5\\\" stroke=\\\"%23000\\\" stroke-width=\\\"1.5\\\" fill=\\\"none\\\"\/\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e');background-repeat:no-repeat;background-position:center;transition:transform .2s ease}.cc-faq__item[open] .cc-faq__q::after{transform:rotate(180deg)}.cc-faq__a{padding:0 0 28px;margin:0}\u003c\/style\u003e\u003csection class=\"cc-faq\" aria-label=\"Frequently Asked Questions\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eWhat is the Pilo D996 Derailleur Hanger best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Pilo D996 is a direct replacement hanger for Airwolf frames. Its primary purpose is to act as a sacrificial component — it absorbs impact and bends or breaks before your frame or rear derailleur sustains damage.

It is designed exclusively for Airwolf frames. There are no size variants to choose between — simply confirm that your frame is an Airwolf model before adding to cart.

Monsoon riding increases the risk of debris and pothole strikes, making a spare hanger especially valuable. The part itself does not degrade in heat or humidity. Keep threads clean and dry, and inspect the hanger after any significant impact to ensure derailleur alignment is maintained.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eHow does the Pilo D996 compare to a generic derailleur hanger?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eGeneric hangers are often cast rather than CNC-machined, leading to inconsistent thread quality and imprecise derailleur alignment. The Pilo D996 is manufactured to tight tolerances, which matters for accurate gear indexing. A poorly fitting generic hanger can cause persistent shifting problems. For an Airwolf frame, using the correct Pilo-specified part is always the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eIs the Pilo D996 worth the price in India, and what warranty does it include?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eAt under Rs. 5,000, the D996 is straightforward value — a derailleur hanger is far cheaper than replacing a bent rear derailleur or a cracked frame dropout. Pilo manufactures to consistent quality standards. As a consumable replacement part, warranty coverage is limited to manufacturing defects. Contact Cobbled Climbs for specific warranty queries.
