Electronic shift gear of bicycle

Although it is not new, it seems clear that the future of a bicycle's shift gear passes for a electronic shift gear replacing the traditional mechanical one. For years, in competition, it has been working on testing electronic shifts, however they have not success due to the problems raised, something that the high competition can not afford.




Shifts are performed by pressing a button. No more efforts to shift. This system allows to shift without difficulty in difficult conditions such as when we have cold hands or when we are really tired.

The most notable difference compare with the mechanical version is the smoothness in the shift. By simply pressing a button the chain will pass from the plate even when we apply a lot of force to the pedals. The deflector is automatically set to avoid friction with the string. The rear shift also offers a very smooth working. 

With this philosophy, the two options about electronic shifts of today were born: Shimano Di2 (Digital Integrated Intelligence) and Campagnolo EPS (Electronic Power Shift). 

Never again the string will turn out and we will hear the clink of a poorly fixed shift.
