Quick start guide

This is a simple guide to help you using your Powershift Hub. Make the most of Classified Powershift, a wireless shifting technology that allows you to shift gears instantly and under full load. Your hub has already been installed on your bike, but if you require more assistance you can check our 'Classified Explained' playlist on YouTube.

Hop on your bike and actuate a shift whilst riding at low speed.
