SRAM Grip Shift is back!

Posted by Caleb Smith on Wednesday February 15 2012

SRAM just posted up this little video about Jaroslav Kulhavy’s win in Champéry on prototype 2012 Grip Shift. What they failed to mention is this working prototype was offered to all of the SRAM XC racers but only Jaro was prepared to roll the dice. I’m guessing with SRAM’s engineers on hand it wasn’t that much of a gamble, but it still paid off. Worldwide delivery is aiming for April so get down to your local shop and get those pre-orders in now.

    Awesome, I loved my old 9sp twist grips. I’ll be first in line for these. Well, if not first I will be in the line. If, in fact, a line forms. Anyway, I want some.

    Damn Europhile weight weenies! Wonder if they’ll force Shimano to bring back flappy paddle shifting for 10sp MTBs next? Hahaha
