Smart Shift. Two ways to ride.

The SmartShift system combines the direct connection of a manual gearbox with the ease of full automation. Electronically controlled clutch and gear actuators deliver fast, smooth shifts, automatically or through manual command using the handlebar thumb shifter. It adapts to rider input, road conditions and component wear, bringing intelligent precision and mechanical engagement together in one system.
