Advent SL-M8195-R XPress 9 Speed Rear Shifter

For once the bike industry has given us something we've been asking for... A wide range group-set that you don't need to mortgage your house or sell your last kidney for.

Introducing Microshift's Advent- 1 x 9 group-set with a wide range cassette, clutch mech, and matching shifter. YAAASSSSS! Best thing of all this group-set will leave enough money in your pocket for a ride trip this weekend!

Don't let the tiny price tag of the Microshift Advent SL-M8195-R XPress 9 Speed Rear Shifter sway you. This no frills shifter does exactly what it's intended to do. Change gears when you push the paddles. Up, down. Down, up, up. Down, down down- it doesn't care so long as you're using it. Featuring sealed lever bearings to reduce the effort needed to depress the ergonomic paddles this 9-speed shifter is among the smoothest out there. Pair that smooth action with positive and audible feedback and you'll know you've just shifted gears. No mushy mashed potato lever feels here.
