“POWERSHIFT is a 2 speed hub replacing the front derailleur. A wireless shifting technology in the rear hub, replacing the functionality of the front derailleur while allowing you to change gears instantaneously, under full load and with uncompromised ratio coverage and gear steps.” – Classified Cycling
Video from Sea Otter 2022
How It Works
“Is there an alternative for the front derailleur, offering the same functionality while getting rid of all the downsides? After 7 years of development, we introduce POWERSHIFT technology: a wireless 2 speed shifting system, integrated in the rear hub, allowing you to change gears in a split second, under full load and on any terrain.”
Shift Button
“A shifter or a satellite shift button will trigger a shift and is attached to the Smart Handlebar Unit, sending out a wireless signal.”
Smart Thru Axle
“The Smart Thru Axle receives the wireless shift signal and will trigger the hub to shift using contactless energy transfer.”
Powershift Hub
“The Powershift hub, when receiving the signal, will shift between 2 ratios.”
