WHEREVER YOU WANT, WHENEVER YOU WANT
Easy Shift is a unique MTB crankset: its built-in freewheel keeps the chain moving as soon as the bike is rolling. You shift without pedalling, in corners, in the air, in a technical section or while pushing the bike. The turning chain also greatly reduces kickback: the suspension works more freely and the bike stays more stable. Designed by Romain for racing and on sale since 2015, it is now fitted by around a thousand riders, from everyday riders to World Cup racers.
TIGHT CORNER

JUMP
In the air, already set up the gear for the restart.
TECHNICAL SECTION
