SHIFT/BRAKE LEVERS
2010 SRAM XX Trigger Shifter Set
When SRAM was developing XX, they were playing with the idea of bringing their Double-Tap road shifting technology to mountain biking. After all, they've already made Double-Tap shifters for flat bars. As much as we like Double-Tap, we think it's not perfect for the dirt. SRAM found that they and ...read more
2009 Shimano XTR Rapidfire Plus Shift Levers SL-M970
While Shimano is putting much of their energy into DCL, they finally realized that there are almost as many RapidFire fans out there and they are not going away. Shimano put some much-needed attention into refining RapidFire, and the result is impressive. It is a new and much improved design, ...read more
2009 Shimano Saint SL-M810 Rapidfire+ Rear Shifter
Recognizing that not every rider uses a front derailleur on their gravity bike, Shimano has gotten smart with their new Shimano Saint SL-M810 RapidFire+ levers and offers the option of buying the rear shifter only. This is the rear half of the new Saint set. One shifter, one cable, two ...read more
2009 SRAM X.O Trigger Shifters
The SRAM X.O Trigger Shifters are the cat's meow, all that and maybe two bags of chips. We admit that the price for these shifters is a princely sum, but they are worth the ducats. The carbon fiber upper covers look good, as does the brushed CNC'ed aluminum body and shift lever, but the real ...read more
2009 SRAM X.O Shorty Twist Shifters
Let us be clear about one thing: the SRAM X.0 Shorty Twist Shifters are not GripShifters. While the resemblance is there, these are all about high performance, high quality shifts. You will have your socks blown off by the X.O. If you've never tried twist shifting, you'll want to get a second ...read more
2009 SRAM X-9 Trigger Shifters
SRAM embraces trickle-down technology. A great result can be found in the SRAM X-9 trigger shifters. This is a big improvement from the 2006 triggers, as the current iteration takes some advances that were once only available in the X-0 triggers, and delivers it at a nice price. The first big ...read more
2006 SRAM X-9 Twist Shifters
The SRAM X-9 Twist Shifters are great and lightweight -- they do just about everything SRAM's X.O does, just for less money and a few extra grams. In short, it's the culmination of years of Grip Shift evolution. A great thing about SRAM twisting is that you can feather or microadjust the front ...read more
2009 SRAM X.0 Trigger Shifter, Rear Only
The SRAM X.O Trigger Shifter is the cat's meow, all that and maybe two bags of chips. We admit that the price for this shifter is a princely sum, but it is worth the ducats. The carbon fiber upper covers look good, as does the brushed CNC'ed aluminum body and shift lever, but the real test is ...read more
2009 SRAM X.O Shorty Twist Shifter, Rear Only
Let us be clear about one thing: the SRAM X.0 Shorty Twist Shifter is not a "GripShifter." While the resemblance is there, these are all about high performance, high quality shifts. You will have your socks blown off by the X.O. If you've never tried twist shifting, you'll want to get a second ...read more
2009 SRAM X.0 Shorty Twist, Front Only
Let us be clear about one thing: these are not ""GripShifters."" While the resemblance is there, these are all about high performance, high quality shifts. You will have your socks blown off by the X.O. If you've never tried twist shifting, you'll want to get a second bike so you can have it in ...read more
