Our way of thinking. The concept was simple: create a geometry that allows each chainring to be
divided into equal segments, much like a pie. Then, perfect the up-and downshift timing for one
segment, and repeat that for each of them. However, making this idea an engineering reality was
quite another thing. Prototype after prototype was built, ridden, and analyzed until we got it
right. The outcome is lightning-fast and accurate front shifting, through an all-new, patented,
mind-blowing performance technology: X-Glide
X-Glide is the common denominator that gives XX its unmatched shifting performance. With
X-Glide, all four upshift locations are identical and can be picked up by any outer link. The
result? Up and down shift locations have perfect timing, for an almost instant shift—even under
load |
X-GLIDE - What Makes it so fast?
Traditional chainring geometry forces a compromise between up and down shift locations, none of which have ideal timing. In fact, half of the possible shift locations are skipped on each crank revolution. The more shift locations you try to incorporate, the worse the timing compromise will be: either your chain jams, causing chain suck, or the chain just fails to shift and runs across the top of the rings until it hits the next shift location.
Those days are over with X-Glide.
X-Glide is the common denominator that gives XX its unmatched shifting performance. With X-Glide, all four upshift locations are identical and can be picked up by any outer link. The result? Up and down shift locations have perfect timing, for an almost instant shift—even under load!
This all-new shifting experience is enhanced by the XX Front Derailleur and the XX 2x10 Front Shifter. Designed together to work together. |
