Overview of the different bike types Classified can be used on

1. Road & gravel

Unprecedented shift performance, efficiency and aerodynamics. Outperforming traditional 2x systems by far. Classified Powershift technology is an alternative for the front derailleur, offering the same functionality while getting rid of all the downsides. Our Powershift Technology — a wireless 2 speed shifting system, integrated in the rear hub, allows you to change gears in a split second, under full load and on any terrain.

  • No front derailleur Significantly reduce aero drag
  • No cross chaining Increase efficiency by straighter chainlines
  • No small chainrings Avoid 45% higher chain forces. Bigger is better

 

2. Mountainbike

The Classified Powershift technology is a game changer for mountainbikes. It allows you to shift gears under full load within 150 milliseconds and to maintain valuable momentum during climbs and transitions, or before an attack.

 

More gears, smaller steps

The addition of the 2-speed hub, multiplying the cassette gears and gearing range, gives the rider 16 unique gears to always be able to access the right cadence, reduce gear grinding and remove huge gear steps. On top of that the additional gears are all accessible in the middle of the cassette which reduces
extreme chain lines.

Increased durability

The Classified Powershift technology is a game changer for mountainbikes. It allows you to shift gears under full load within 150 milliseconds and to maintain valuable momentum during climbs and transitions, or before an attack.

 

Combining a high grade, one piece steel cassette with a 10% bigger chainring, Classified is able to improve the overall durability of your drivetrain. ​The 11-40 cassette also adds increased stability thanks to a shorter derailleur cage.

 

3. TT & Tri

Maximise efficiency and aerodynamic gains with 1x efficiency, with the gearing range of a 2x system

Until now, triathletes and time trialists have had to make a compromise. With Powershift Technology for triathlon and time trial you don’t have to compromise. You can have the best of both worlds – the added aerodynamic and efficiency gains of a 1x system, combined with the wider gearing range of a traditional 2x system. Never before seen in triathlon and time trial, in the words of professional triathlete, Kyle Smith, ‘it’s a game changer!

 

Maximise your race with the Powershift advantage

  • No front derailleur Significantly reduce aero drag
  • No cross chaining Increase efficiency by straighter chainlines
  • No small chainrings Avoid 45% higher chain forces. Bigger is better
  • Powershift when accerating or cornering 

 

5. Urban

We will soon launch Powershift technology for urban bicycles with one launch gear and one cruise gear. Stay up-to-date and subscribe to our newsletter.
