Model/Year: 2011

Pros: Don't realize they are there, perfect shifts when adjusted right.

Cons: Clamps are weak and expensive to replace. Tight's tight, too tight's broke!

Recommendation: I love these shifters. I highly recommend them.

Pros: Trouble-free performance, good value for the price

Cons: none

Recommendation: I have used this shifter on my urban bike for about a year. I liked it enough to replace a Shimano Rapidfire shifter on my XC bike. Like the other reviews say, the shifting is smooth, quick, and trouble-free. Both my bikes are setup 1X9 so I can't say how the front shifter would perform. I like the all push action on the triggers. The trigger placement feels perfect on the handlebar.

Pros: asome performance. dependable shifting. matchmaker compatible.

Pros: Awesome performance

Cons: No display of which gear you're in.

Recommendation: Does the little display telling you which gear you're in really add that much weight, or do you just look like a n00b if you have it? Personally, I'd rather have the X7 shifters. Same performance, but with the gear display.

Pros: SRAM, excellent shifting!

Cons: Nothing

Recommendation: As usual you'll find the 1:1 actuation, which is a huge plus, when using these trigger shifters you will never have to worry about shifting problems!

Pros: Best trigger system ever... period. I've converted to Sram and will never go back to any other inferior brands :cough:shimano:cough:

Cons: none

Recommendation: Best triggers ever, dual thumb triggers allow for complete control of braking and shifting at all times. The action is crisp and smooth, works perfect everytime.

Pros: Crisp shifting positive no miss shifting.

Cons: Unfortunately can't be used on shimano

Recommendation: X9 works great positive shifting just like the X0 with the exception of the bling. Just as smooth shifting without the adjustable shift lever and carbon cover.
