Conclusion Convertible lightweight gearbox for racers; optionally available as 2x11 or 3x11. The hybrid blade with high titanium teeth is more wear-resistant than aluminium blades. The cassette consisting of several segments with a steel/titanium/aluminium mix is more sensitive than Sram. Still very good.
