SHIMANO ALIVIO REAR DERAILLEUR 9s
This is a 2014 bike, not a current Alivio RDER.
It appears to have been spec'd with an 11-32 cassette,
Without knowing the SPECIFIC MODEL Alivio, and able to actually research the largest cog size, I would stick with a 32T max cog.
Although a 34T would probably work, why take a chance?
