How to make Shimano's Di2 shifting even better

Who wants a tidy, simple and lightweight cockpit without a tangle of cables? Anyone shouting "Yes!" should take a close look at the gearshifts from Swiss manufacturer Zirbel, provided they have an electronic gearshift system. The clever twist shifters ensure safe and fast gear changes and a unique look on the system-integrated handlebars.

The Twist Shifters are based on the Magnetic Click Technology developed by Zirbel Bike, which is based on small magnets and proximity switches. This makes it possible to build lightweight, compact and versatile twist shifters with excellent haptics. The shifter ring is manufactured using a 3D printing process. This manufacturing process makes it easy to realize individual shapes and the Shifter Ring can be shaped according to ergonomic requirements. Shifting with thumb links, thumb tip or index finger, everything is possible thanks to the unique Twist Shifter, according to the manufacturer from Biel.

An electronic shifting system, such as Shimano Di2 or Campagnolo EPS or Sram eTap, is required to use the Twist Shifter. For use on mountain bikes, the Shimano XT or XTR Di2 is compatible and Zirbel also offers handlebars for perfect function and appearance. System integration makes sense here, the shift lever cabling disappears elegantly into the handlebars and the Di2 battery can be attached to the handlebars with the Fix Clip system - so all cables are elegantly routed internally in the cockpit. The so-called Wisent handlebar is available as a straight and riser bar, each in lengths of 680 and 750 millimetres.
