POWERSHIFT TECHNOLOGY
PRECISION POWER
PERFORMANCE
THE NEXT LEVEL IN DRIVETRAIN EFFICIENCY. LESS IS MORE.
“A 2-speed hub that solves the issues of both 1x and 2x drivetrains.
The opportunity to reduce aerodynamic drag, improve shift performance, and reduce the potential for dropped chains all without adding weight seems like a no-brainer”.
Cycling Weekly
“It’s so quick it takes you by surprise, with none of the delay of even the very best front mechs”.
Bike Radar
“One of the most intriguing products we've seen in recent years”

POWERSHIFT TECHNOLOGY is a wireless shifting technology that allows you to shift gears instantly and under full load. Its first application is the Powershift hub, which replaces the front derailleur. The Powershift hub offers unrivalled shift quality, high gearing range and small steps in between gears combining the benefits of both 1x and 2x.
No small chainrings. Avoid 45% higher chain forces. Bigger is better.
No cross chaining. Increase efficiency with straighter chainlines.
No front derailleur. Significantly reduce aero drag.
HOW IT WORKS
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. Read more about gear ratios.
"Classified's POWERSHIFT Technology is revolutionary" — Marcel Kittel
