Ergopower™ Power-Shift™ ATHENA™ Controls 11s

Deep Black, Bright Silver, or if you like, with carbon finish: three alternatives for personalising your bike to the max. The performance features are top of the line thanks to Power-Shift™ technology which enables multiple upshifting (3 gears) and single downshifting.

I've been vocally anti-powershift, but have calmed down a bit. Some people may not care about multiple shifting, so as long as they are aware of what they are getting, then it may be fine for them.

Personally I really like multiple shifting so bought a couple pairs of 2010 Centaur 10 speed shifters, one for a current bike and one for an unspecified build.
