Tri & TT

Every second counts


Unlock your competitive edge with with the fastest and most efficient set up the world has ever seen.

 

 

Never before seen in triathlon and time trial, in the words of professional triathlete, Kyle Smith, ‘it’s a game changer!. Until now, triathletes and time trialists have had to make a compromise. With Powershift Technology for triathlon and time trial you don’t have to compromise. You can have the best of both worlds – the added aerodynamic and efficiency gains of a 1x system, combined with the wider gearing range of a traditional 2x system. 

Maximise your race with the Powershift advantage

 

No front derailleur
Significantly reduce aero drag

No cross chaining
Increase efficiency by straighter chainlines

No small chainrings
Avoid 45% higher chain forces. Bigger is better
 
Powershift when accelerating or cornering 

Proven in competition

 

Ruth Astle, who achieved impressed results racing on the system during the 2023 racing season: "It's the ability to shift so quickly under load, which is really helpful, particularly on courses with steeper climbs. But the ability to always run a bigger chainring up front dramatically increase the efficiency of the bike even further. It's just makes me go faster"

Powershift with your favorite brand 

 

We're working with frame partners such as Ceepo, Argon 18, and others to help you benefit from the efficiency gains of Powershift Technology.   
 
Similarly, we have a growing list of wheel partners such as HUNT, HED, Vison FSA and Parcours, who have Powershift ready, deep section wheels that are optimised for triathlon and time trial.

How it works

1

Shift button
The satellite shift button triggers a shift and is attached to the Smart Handlebar Unit, sending out a wireless signal.

2

Smart thru axle
The Smart Thru Axle receives the wireless shift signal and triggers the hub to shift using contactless energy transfer.

3

Powershift hub
The hub receives the signal and shifts between 2 ratios, similar to shifting a front derailleur between big and small chainring.

Everybody’s talking​
about Classified

“It is the ability to just shift so quickly under load, which is really helpful, particularly on courses with steeper climbs. But the ability to always run a bigger chainring up front dramatically increases the efficiency of the bike even further. It just makes me go faster!”​

— Ruth Astle 

"The speed at which you notice the benefits of the system is remarkable,” added Kyle Smith. “The extra efficiency gains mean that I can ride faster on the bike leg, and I feel fresher when transitioning into the run. Classified is a gamechanger for the sport.”​

— Kyle Smith 

“The Classified system instantly came into its own here, with the ability to very quickly change the gear you’re in by the equivalent ratio of two to three gears of a standard cassette, without having to let off the power at all. Once I became more familiar with the system and the ratio change, I was able to supplement this change with a shift of the rear derailleur too, getting myself into the perfect gear to lay down some hammer on the climb.”​
— Robery Johnston, The Loam Wolf

“Where the Powershift proved to be a revelation and a comfort factor was during small taps, meaning small, unplanned steep climbs. What a blast! In this type of situation, we would have usually shifted several gears very quickly while forcing the chain to get to the end of the climb. With the Classified system, a simple thumb movement on the Ringshifter is enough to get to the top, without having to force the transmission at all. Just after this steep passage, the return to the top position (1/1 ratio) is done in an instant and we can attack the rest of the descent at full speed.”
