Is This The Future Of Gear Shifting On Bikes?
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
In a world exclusive, GCN looks at the BioShift system. An intelligent gearing system that automatically detects your optimum gear, and shifts you into it. Impressive? Yes. The future? What do you think? Follow GCN on YouTube: http://gcn.eu/SubscribeToGCN Baron Biosystem founder Armando Mastracci visited GCN HQ and brought with him his new Intelligent Gearing System. Using a unique and impressive software package, it uses power, cadence and speed data to detect and select your ideal gear, then using DI2, puts you there. Does it work? Yes. It's impressively well thought through, even going so far as to change the algorithm for riding out of the saddle, and stopping the front derailleur from shifting when it detects the torque is too high to effectively shift. Would you want this? Well, that depends. It's certainly a different approach to shifting to many experienced cyclists. However, it's not without it's merits, and there are many applications where this could potentially improve a rider's performance. Buy GCN Cycling Kit!

Americans couldn't leave manual cars alone - they had to kill them. Now they're coming after bikes.
Holy shit americans are lazy. -
Sounds cool, looks cool, but will eliminate a bit of the skill/feeling factor.

Just as lame as an automatic car

Bradley wiggins is a drug cheat

I wished somebody would come up with a semi-automatic sequential that adjusts the entire group set, sort of F1 style.
You'd simply use the right paddle to shift up and the left to shift down but adjusts the front derailleur into account so each shift is a progression... I.e. if you shift down, the system might need to shift the front and rear derailleurs to achieve the next step down... if that makes sense. -
that would be good on a loaded up touring bike or a posties bike.

That's how i feed my eel

That saddle looks so sad

That sounds cool, but it's definitely not for my MTB.

That saddle doesn't seem to be excited about it.
