Sram brings back the Gripshift thanks to Kulhavy

With the development of the trigger shifter, the GripShift twist shifter has fallen into oblivion in Sram's product portfolio. Now Sram is bringing the technology back and presenting a version for ten-speed transmissions. The new GripShift was used for the first time by Jaroslav Kulhavy on his ride to the world championship title.

The Gripshift is very popular among racing cyclists due to its low weight, high shifting precision and unbeatable shifting speed. Kulhavy's GripShift is still a prototype, but Sram has announced that it will soon go into production. They are also celebrating the 25th anniversary of the revival of the twist shifter. In 1987, the US company launched a twist shifter for the first time with the DB1 shifter.
