3 different colours: - black/silver - black/red - full black
2 models: - 9 speeds - 10 speeds (both models are compatible with double and triple crankset)
Since the beginning of Mountain biking engineers are trying to make a
bicycle as light, easy and durable as possible. During the change of brake sytems
to hydraulic in order to improve function, the development of shifting gear
stood still ― sliding wires in cables ...until now! The new ACROS A-GE combines
hydraulic performance with high quality german CNC engineering. It´s goal is to
be the lightest most powerful and most exclusive shifting system on the market.
Lighter means faster. Reliable performance in a capsuled system at every time.
Ride the new A-GE Experience the new AGE– because shifting is not only changing
gears.
Thumb Shifter A-GE TS Pushing the shifter forward
changes gears with linear force. Tilt the TS paddle to invert the hydraulic circuit and therefore the shifting
direction from up to down. 65 g Front
Derailleur A-GE FD The trapezoidal movement of
the A-GE FD allows Acros to built a super compact front derailleur. Its out and
forward / in and backward motion provides maximum performance at an unrivaled
weight. Compatible 31.8 and 34.9mm. 79 g Rear
Derailleur A-GE RD The trapezoidal movement of
the A-GE rear derailleur fits your chain line in any gear. This unique action
allows you to shift up and down up to 3 gears at once. The hydraulic rear
derailleur is compatible to 8x, 9x and 10x. 159 g ONE FOR ALL: Push the A-GE TS shifter forward ton change up to 3 gears UP AND DOWN at once
INTUITIVE SHIFTING: Pushing the A-GE TS paddle on
it's bottom changes the oil flow and therefore the shifting direction.
SEAMLESS PIPE The hydraulic pipes contains
the mineral oil to act as direct force between shifter, front or rear
derailleur. Capsuled, protected and without friction the hydraulic system is
maintenance free. UNI - FORCE Shifting force and direction
stay linear! This makes shifting a whole new experience. Tilting the thumb
paddle inverts the hydraulic circuit and therefore the shifting direction from
up to down. MY - MOVE The special designed clamp
gives you various possibilities to mount your SHIFTERS. MatchMakerTM
compatibility is available, too
THE RASTER ROD Provides force feedback upon
your shift command. Just change the ROD to go from 8 to 9 or 10 speed. ULTIMATE LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN German engineering and latest
CNC technology provide minimum tolerances and ensure superior function at an
unrivaled weight. FIRM UNIT DESIGN Minimum tolerances and 29
thrust ball bearings provide maximum stiffness and functionality
The
following weights have been checked on a high precision scale by Acros. A-GE gearshift is 175 gr
lighter than a Shimano XTR shift set, 229 g lighter than a Sram XO shift set
and 150 g lighter than a Sram XX shift set.
