Rapidfire Plus
Rapidfire Plus Mono

Benefits & Features
- Simple and intuitive single lever operation, quicker access and lighter front shifting enhances concentration.
- Front double shifting with natural finger positioning supports intuitive shifting operation.
- Easy front shifting helps riders quickly and accurately respond to rapidly changing conditions.
RAPIDFIRE PLUS MONO LEVER’s simple and intuitive lever operation allows riders to shift both up and down with a single lever. It supports front double shifting with natural finger positioning and intuitive shifting operation while maintaining a solid grip on the handlebar. 2WAY-RELEASE functionality delivers instantaneous push & pull movements to help riders respond quickly and accurately to rapidly changing conditions.
I-Spec-EV
I-SPEC EV creates a clean and action-optimized cockpit that provides greater focus and flexibility for a wider range of riders.
Benefits & Features
- Wider adjustment range allows riders of various styles, preferences and body styles to adjust to the optimal position.
- Ergonomic design, quicker lever access, and light operation enhance rider comfort and concentration.
With its wider adjustment range, I-SPEC EV levers can be adjusted to the optimal position to match a wider range of riding styles (ENDURO/XC/etc.), rider preferences and rider anatomies (hand and arm alignment). I-SPEC EV increases brake lever rigidity by moving the brake clamp position inward to create an extra point of contact between the bar and the lever. This additional bracing drastically increases bike control and braking engagement while maintaining space between the clamp and support point for other handlebar accessories.
MICRO SPLINE
MICRO SPLINE delivers lightweight aluminum FREEHUB body to reduce weight and 10 teeth top gear. Use combination with MICRO SPLINE cassette sprocket and FREEHUB.
Benefits & Features
- Lightweight aluminum MICRO SPLINE FREEHUB seamlessly integrates with small 10-tooth top gears.
- Smaller and more widely distributed splines limit cog damage on lightweight aluminum FREEHUB.
HYPERGLIDE+
HYPERGLIDE+ drivetrain’s redesigned cassette and chain promotes the next generation of MTB riding by enhancing speed, shifting efficiency and smoothness over any terrain.
Benefits & Features
- Better chain engagement, stronger retention, and smoother pedaling provide greater power and confidence over rapidly changing terrain.
- Definitive up & down shifting in both directions boosts riders’ concentration and acceleration.
- Ultra-efficient drivetrain with smoother power transmission increases comfort and reduces rider stress.
- A wide range of gearing choices, cassette options and the choice of a single or double front chainring, support a wide variety of MTB riding styles, abilities and preferences.
HYPERGLIDE+ will help kickstart the next generation of mountain bike riding by introducing continuous pedaling over virtually any terrain. This revamped drive system and dedicated chain deliver fast shifting, efficient power transfer and chain stability like you’ve never experienced before. It helps riders adapt to drastically changing trail conditions by precisely judging the optimal shifting moment for consistently smooth operation. HYPERGLIDE+ helps riders seamlessly maneuver rough trails by reducing pedaling shock and cutting shifting times by a 1/3. (vs. current HG system).
