  FOCUSED CORNERING

  Being able to shift to the right gear without pedaling will change how you think about cornering. FREE SHIFT helps you focus on planning your line and maintaining a stable body position for greater control and acceleration after corners.

• FOCUSED DESCENTS

  FREE SHIFT for e-MTB helps you keep a stable body position by allowing you to change gears mid-descent without pedaling. Riders with FREE SHIFT can emerge from descents prepared for trail changes and avoid spin-outs or being overgeared.

HOW TO OPERATE

• 

  You can quickly change your experience by selecting either AUTOMATIC FREE SHIFT or MANUAL FREE SHIFT in the E-TUBE PROJECT Cyclist app.
  
  Enjoy greater concentration with AUTOMATIC FREE SHIFT. Automatic mode uses your speed and app settings to shift gears while coasting so you can resume pedaling in the right gear. Even when set to Automatic, riders can still shift manually at any moment to prepare for upcoming trail changes.

• 

  Enjoy greater control with MANUAL FREE SHIFT.

  MANUAL FREE SHIFT is for seasoned and confident riders who prefer to control their pedal-free shifting with DEORE XT's ergonomically designed switch.
