Cyclocross component specialist Gevenalle has released a new shifter specifically designed for the gravel and adventure cycling enthusiast, the GX. While Genevalle’s current CX shifters have already been utilized for this market, there was an overwhelming request that the system be expanded to include capability for Shimano’s newer 10 speed Dyna-sis and Shadow Plus MTB derailleurs with a cassette capability up to 36T. The GX Shifter is an industry first for those wanting to run integrated shifters on drop bars with these derailleurs.
The GX utilizes a customized version of a Microshift lever set on a new larger mount that is compatible with Shimano’s current 10 speed MTB derailleurs. GX Shifters are also compatible with most, if not all cable braking systems (caliper, cantilever, v-brakes, mini-v, road or MTB disc…) Using a clever alteration to the brake levers to add another brake leverage point, the GX can be set up for both long or short pull to work with any cable fed brake!
The GX shifter also adapts well for the touring cyclist, providing excellent durability and range of gears. All work is done in Portland, from the machining of mounts, anodizing, laser engraving, brake lever machining and assembly of the brake levers with upgraded pivot bushings.
- Compatible with Shimano’s current 10 speed Dyna-sis and Shadow Plus MTB derailleurs.
- GX Shifters are compatible with most if not all cable braking systems.
