  1. By mounting method - direct mount (for e.g. D558), standard mount (for e.g. D484)
  2. By manufacturing method - CNC machined,  Cast,  Forged...
  3. Others...

Why bicycle derailleur hangers differs?
There are thousands rear derailleur hanger types (designs) on the market. Every bicycle frame manufacturer could have different dropout design for each model of frame and different hanger for same frame but manufactured on different year. They are constantly releasing new bike models and updated bike models each year, with a lot of different mech hangers. Sometimes could be hard to find it, sometimes it is easy because some derailleur hangers may fit a lot of bike models. For e.g. our D16 derailleur hanger.

Are derailleur hangers universal?

Yes, there are universal derailleur hangers. It is called emergency universal derailleur hanger and can be used for a short period of time, for e.g. to get home after derailleur hanger breaks/bends, or ride until your ordered mech hanger arrives to you.
