As part of the event, we presented our Powershift Hub system and its unique contribution to drivetrain performance. Through simulations, data, and in-race examples, we demonstrated how instant shifting under full load, expanded gear coverage, and uncompromised efficiency translate into real-world speed, control, and cadence — especially when every second matters. Importantly, we also showcased how our recent SHIMANO Di2 integration makes this performance more accessible than ever before. With full wireless control directly from existing Di2 shift levers, the Powershift Hub now fits seamlessly into the setups trusted by the peloton — removing barriers and unlocking new potential for pro and elite riders alike.
The response from teams and experts was energising. Powershift sparked enthusiastic conversations across disciplines, with coaches, mechanics, and performance staff eager to explore what this system could unlock on the road — not just in theory, but in competition.
“We’re proud to share that teams were impressed by the technology and excited about the opportunities it offers to push performance to the next level. The unique combination of instantaneous shifting, increased gear range, and uncompromised efficiency sparked great conversations about how Powershift can make the difference when it matters most.” Sander Laseur, Classified Product Manager
As interest grows, so does momentum. We’re seeing more professional programs opening up to new drivetrain technologies — especially those that combine simplicity with cutting-edge capability.
We look forward to continuing these discussions and helping more teams — and riders — unlock their full potential with Classified.Classified announces SHIMANO Di2 integrationClassified Cycling2025-06-25 | Classified announces integration between its Powershift Hub technology and SHIMANO Di2 electronic groupsets, marking a key milestone in drivetrain compatibility.

Find out how Massimo uses his XC Powershift hub, and why he thinks it's such an advantage for XC MTB racing:
"For me the biggest advantage is that you can use the Ringshifter even when not pedalling. You can shift before a really sharp corner into a smaller gear, so you don’t have to do 3 or 4 shifts on the back. It’s really easy.”
As Massimo points out, an MTB racer will shift 300-400 times in a typical XCM event (around 120km). Having the ultimate weapon of being able to Powershift, an instant gear shift that’s equivalent to 3-4 rear derailleur shifts, is a huge advantage over the rest of the field.
