microSHIFT: State-of-the-Art Technology for Your Best Performance
microSHIFT was founded in Taiwan back in 1999 by a group of bicycle industry veterans. The team have built up a wealth of experience in drive components, and thanks to their decades’ worth of expertise, can run their production entirely in-house. This enables strict quality controls as well as fast market launches for new products.
Ever since the development of the innovative microSHIFT ADVENT X group, the brand has been continuously improving their product design and technology. The Taiwanese company strives to drive cycling forwards by making reliable high-end products which are available within a more affordable price range, making the finer points of cycling more accessible to beginners and hobby riders.
microSHIFT MTB groupsets
microSHIFT has made a name for themselves with the reliable 1x10 ADVENT X groupset. The enduro-ready components have a wide gear range and are therefore perfectly suited to demanding trails. ADVENT X gears are extremely sturdy, yet with impressively precise shifting. The rear derailleur uses a ratchet-pawl combo and ensures optimal chain management on challenging terrain.
The microSHIFT ADVENT groupset is the perfect choice in almost instances, from e-bikes to all-mountain bikes. The 9-speed groupset is extremely durable and offers top-class performance on any terrain.
Simple, reliable and with an incredible price-performance ratio: this is what sets the microSHIFT Acolyte 8-speed groupset apart from the rest. With its high chain tension, sufficient gear ratio and intuitive shifting, you can turn your full concentration to the trail and get to work on refining your skills. If you opt for an 8-speed Acolyte rear derailleur, you get the innovative Spring-Lock system with customised high-performance spring and two-stage activation mechanism to boot. High chain tension can be provided where required, but this can also be switched off completely.
The 9-speed shifting systems in the microSHIFT Marvo LT or Mezzo series are ideal for light mountain biking, trekking or commuting. A chic look, durable design and smooth shifting make for pleasant comfort on every ride.

ADVENT X cassettes make for easy gear selection with few gear changes. The cogs are made of high-quality steel and aluminium, so they are extremely robust and suitable for off-road use. microSHIFT can offer you the perfect cassette for your road bike or MTB in line with your discipline and the gears you desire.
With a microSHIFT gear shifter, you’ll always stay in control of your gear changes. Top models like the shifters in the ADVENT X series have millimetre-precise ergonomics, meaning they can be perfectly positioned so you are ready to shift at any time and do not have to relax your grip on your handlebars. Operated with your index finger and thumb, you can comfortably change gears from different grip positions.
