Pros
Super smooth shifting, great indexing, easy to use.
Cons
Full composite housing cracks easily when hit on barrel adjuster.
Review
All around decent shifter for XC and recreational riding. Pretty good value for the money. Not recommended for downhill, freeride, dirt jumping, or otherwise aggressive riding. A good smack on the ground or tree will destroy this shifter, and if you disassemble this shifter for any reason be prepared to contact NASA for help in re-assembling it.
Pros
-easy downshifts
-very reliable, never slips
Cons
-the upshift can sometimes lag unless you have good derailers
Review
it's a great shifter for the price. must be paired with good derailers
