SRAM Mountain Bike Shifters

There are three main mountain bike SRAM shifter product lines available at the moment – Attack, MRX and Centera.

The Attack line of SRAM Shifters is made up of two versions – the Attack Twist Shifter and Attack Trigger Shifter. Choosing between a twist and trigger shifting system is largely a matter of personal preference as there are advantages to both. Both models come with 2:1 Shimano technology as well as speeds 9/8. The twist shifter has 9/8 index speeds.

There is only a single SRAM shifter in the Centera product line and it’s a twist shifter. The SRAM Centera shifter comes with 2:1 Shimano technology as well as SRS. It also has 9/8 index speeds. Although the price of mountain SRAM shifters is usually relatively inexpensive you can still find used SRAM Centera shifters available if you need to save money.

There are two different twist shifters included within the MRX product line. The first is the MRX Comp Twist Shifter and the second is the MRX Twist Shifter. Both come with speeds of 8/7/6/5 index and 2:1 Shimano technology.

SRAM Road Bike Shifters

SRAM have four main series of road bike components and each has its own shifter. For example, the 2010 SRAM Red DoubleTap control is part of the SRAM Red product line and delivers a smooth gear change through a simple “tap”. The combination of brake and shift lever is light and durable as well as comfortable and hence are perfect for long rides. They are expensive, however. For example the SRAM Red Double Tap control system can cost over $500 depending on where you buy. For this reason looking for used SRAM shifters is often a good idea. Pre owned models may not be in top condition but will be a lot cheaper.

All four of the product lines – Apex, Force, Red and Rival – use the DoubleTap system for gear changing. This means you get a smooth shift in a single motion which leaves you free to concentrate on other things. There are differences between the models, however, including how they look and feel.

Before you look for road SRAM shifters for sale it’s usually a good idea to try a few out. They all have a slightly different feel due to the variation in location of the levers.
