TRP and Classified have joined forces to create the best riding experience by merging their strengths – combining a fast-shifting derailleur with a highly efficient internally geared rear hub that shifts under load. The result is a cutting-edge system with unique functionality and features. Vistar // Powershift will redefine drivetrain standards, providing cyclists with improved control, efficiency and durability in both road and gravel applications.

The Vistar // Powershift system is available in 1x16 for road and 1x15 for gravel, combining a 12-speed cassette with a single chainring and the Classified Powershift Hub for instant, under-load shifting. Riders get 15 or 16 logically sequenced gears with improved chainline performance and seamless cadence control.

Unlike traditional drivetrains that rely on a front derailleur, QuantumShift delivers an internal gear change (1:1 to 0.7 ratio) faster and more reliably — fully coordinated with the rear derailleur for smooth, uninterrupted pedaling, even under maximum load.

The groupset’s rear derailleur is designed with a removable and rechargeable battery for added convenience and serviceability. Paired with TRP’s braking platform, the groupset brings impressive stopping power and modulation to match its shifting innovation.

To complement the groupset,  Classified's Aero Crankset (46T to 52T), and TRP’s Road Chainset (50T and 52T) and Gravel Chainset (44T to 48T) are available. Finally, the monoblock steel cassettes are engineered for optimal performance and durability, designed to integrate seamlessly with the Classified Powershift Hub.

“Vistar // Powershift is about smarter simplicity. It gives riders a high-performance alternative to front derailleurs, and it does so without overcomplicating their set-up, while also increasing the drivetrains efficiency and durability – effectively, this translates into a much more logical shifting experience. This collaboration with TRP reflects our shared vision of practical innovation.”
