from Port Angleles, WA Date Reviewed: February 12, 2006 Strengths: Light, simple, good looking, decent shifting, can shift a handfull of gears in a single motion. Weaknesses: They suck in sloppy conditions cus your hand slips when you get tired. You can find your wrist in an unnatural position if you are supprised by a sudden climb. They ghost shift worse than your dead grandma over the rough stuff. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Limbo Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $75.00 Purchased At: Don't remember Similar Products Used: Triggers from the two big S companies. Bike Setup: Intense 5.5, Uzzi VPX, M1, Tazer VP, Cove G-spot FR.

from Elora, Ontario, Canada Date Reviewed: August 3, 2005 Strengths: Very light, easy cable change, comfortable grip, crisp gear changes Weaknesses: See SRR's comments further down. Upshifting is extremely crisp, requiring good force (which one wants with a grip shifter, especially if you don't back off after a shift to the adjacent stationary grip), but downshifting (to bigger rings) is weaker, not as crisp. While there is different ring action in each direction (ramps down, not up) and one often wants to downshift quickly, I still find he difference too much. Barrel Grip is bit too long; could be about 3/4 of an inch shorter Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $40.00 Purchased At: Ebay Similar Products Used: Sachs power grip, Sram Xrays, Attack Bike Setup: Hardtail with Sram 9.0 cassette, PC99 chain and XO derailleur (and what a sweet derailleur it is)

from St. Louis Date Reviewed: April 20, 2004 Strengths: -Ratcheting shift system gives you four very positive detents between front shifts and the ability to trim your front cage in nasty conditions. Weaknesses: Twist shifters force your brake levers inward, so when you attach your race number you may have to cut little triangles out to get access to your brake lever adjuster barrels.
