DoubleTap®
With DoubleTap® you can shift more easily and more quickly because it eliminates that awkward and unnatural movement required by two-lever systems. DoubleTap allows you to shift with a simple up and down motion. Minimal effort and maximum comfort, regardless of the position of your hands on the handlebar.
DoubleTap® uses two pins: one to hold the spool and one to move it down and up during gear changes. The pins are arranged so that they can jump over each other depending on how far and with how much pressure you press the shift lever.
With a short, quick tap, the transport pin (04) moves the spool (02) upward through the gear range. For a lower gear, the lever is moved a greater distance (in the same direction as when shifting up, but at the ergonomically maximum angle of 15º). In the process, the locking pin (03) and the transport pin quickly and cleanly jump over each other.
Position, position, position: the DoubleTap levers (05) move in only one direction and work smoothly, regardless of the position you move to. Thanks to the mounting of two pivots (01), which are completely independent of the brake pivot, the lever can be operated from all positions on the handlebar.
What sets DoubleTap apart from similar systems, however, is that the shift lever can also be pulled towards the handlebar, allowing you to shift to a higher gear during a sprint or attack without having to loosen your grip.
In DoubleTap® shifts, the shift lever is mounted completely independently of the brake lever. This not only enables the multi-position function, but also eliminates the risk of accidentally operating the brake or shift lever – a significant disadvantage of combined levers.
Zero Loss
ZeroLoss stands for "zero loss." When you press the shift lever to shift to a higher or lower gear, the cable is released immediately, ensuring zero loss of motion. No more dead time waiting for the gear to engage. The gear is changed immediately and precisely.
ErgoDynamics™
Thanks to the increased length, grip width adjustment, and optimized shape, the levers are comfortable and easy to reach, and therefore suitable for cyclists of different sizes.
Yaw™
Yaw technology allows for trim-free shifting, as the derailleur cage describes an arc, and is therefore at a constant angle relative to the chain. As a result, transitions are more direct and precise, providing unprecedented front shifting performance.
