Good Features
 Being able to shift through so many gears using this set up is very nice. The shifts are great they have a crisp feeling of precision to them. The upkeep of them is minimal as it should be with shifters. Also when you take a spill I’m not too worried about my shifters breaking as with thumb shifters where the levers can break apart easily depending on the material.

Bad Features
 The major issue about these shifters is trying to fit them in with the rest of your handlebar set up.

Recommended Alternatives

From Jenson USA:
SRAM twisters are the best choice for weight-conscious riders. A flick of the wrist is all it takes to shift.

From Price Point:
SRAM X.9 - Sporting X.0 lineage.
The X.9 line-up features the same robust qualities and technologies as the X.0 system. If you are looking for greatness in a refined high-performance package then look no further, choose X.9! The Sram X.9 Twister Shifters 2008 feature a less aggressive grip than X.0 with the same performance and qualities.

• Superior 1:1 Actuation Ratio™ and SRS Technology
• Lightest Shifter available in class
• Multiple Shift Capability
• Integrated Quick View Gear Indication
• Lightweight Grilon® Body and Amy® Grip for Smaller Hands

Matchmaker Compatible: Avid Matchmaker compatibility takes your cockpit to a new level of personal customization while losing grams and clutter. Simply mount your triggers and brake levers using one shared clamp with matchmaker hardware. Using a Rockshox pushloc? You can mount that too.

1:1 Actuation™ is simply superior. The very nature of its design makes it this way. For every 1 unit of cable pulled or released, the derailleur moves the same amount. Simple? Yes. Dependable and tolerant? The best. Ease of set-up and adjustment? Easiest. This is why the top athletes in the MTB world prefer SRAM. From the mud infested Cross Country of the Sea Otter Classic, to the rocks and roots of a Fort William World Cup Downhill the 1:1 actuation stays precise and fluid. 1:1 Actuation precision is why you find SRAM on the elite bikes from cross-country flyers to full gravity bombers. 1:1 • Setting the shifting standard!

Zero Loss Travel™ defines the degrees of "lost" travel before the cable engages the shifting pawl. The shifting pawl is always engaged with Zero Loss Travel so the moment you push is the moment the shift starts. It is one important characteristic that makes our X.0 and X.9 triggers so impressive. With zero degrees of "lost travel", 1:1 actuation ratio, and SRAM's constant distance geometry, the distinction in our shift is like no other. Quick and calculated. Fast and precise.

Direct Route Technology™: We've been singing the praises of this technology for years. Cut out the middleman, go direct, and speak to the actuation mechanism itself. Direct route technology is light, responsive, precise and impervious to cable housing damage. We have simply reduced the friction by routing the cable directly to the actuation mechanism and less effort means you save the extra push for your ride.
