Microshift goes 11-speed with Advent MX

MicroShift’s Advent drivetrain range has long been a high-value option with surprisingly good function. Now, the company has launched a more robust and premium option with trail mountain biking in mind – Advent MX. Like pre-existing Advent products, the new MX range consists of cassettes (11-50T range), rear derailleur, and a thumb shifter. You then add a compatible 11-speed chain and 1x crankset of your choosing. For the first time, Microshift will offer both HG and XD-compatible cassettes, including options that are entirely steel, a premium model with extra-hardened chromoly steel, or a more regular level of hardening (cheaper). Mini groupsets, including cassette, rear derailleur, and shifter, start from just US$230 / €225. There’s a 10-speed version (10-48T cassette) at US$195 / €195.
