Review
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.

never had anything but good control and dependability with these shifters. Love the thumb action onstesd of having to pull to go back down on the gears.

Pros
Awesome performance
 
Cons
No display of which gear you're in.
 
Review
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.

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!

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

Review
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
 
Review
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.
