This revolutionary technology uses a 10-speed cassette, but that is not the only feature of this system. Highlight is a completely redesigned drivetrain that creates real added benefits for the rider. - It’s not only an extra gear - It’s about closer gear ratios for a smoother shifting performance and improved power transfer - It’s about riding optimized gear combinations that improve efficiency and durability - It’s all about performance: DYNA-SYS offers a more stable drivetrain for any type of rider Inherently Efficient: - A wider-range 11-36T 10-speed HG cassette means riders can spend more time in their Primary Driving Gear—the 32-tooth ring. Traditionally, triple-ring riders have had to get used to making two to three recovery shifts in the back every time they drop into the 22T granny. With DYNA-SYS, it’s just one recovery shift, and it’s needed less often. Shifting is smoother and faster thanks to CloseStep gear ratios—42-32-24. Getting from the 24-tooth ring back into the Primary Driving Gear—the middle ring—is easier and more intuitive. And a more manageable 42-tooth big-ring is also easier to get into, which means riders will use it more. DYNA-SYS technology makes the shifting transitions seamless, enabling riders to deliver consistent, efficient power while maintaining traction and momentum. DYNA-SYS CloseStep gears are based on the 32T middle chainring, helping make overall power transfer more efficient: - The 32T is the most effective and most often used chainring in off-road riding. - DYNA-SYS Technology minimizes the variation in driving chain position relative to most bikes’ effective main pivot, reducing unwanted influence on suspension performance. HG-X Chain: - Further evolution of shifting performance - A directional mountain bike specific 10-speed HG-X chain means smoother shifts, lighter weight and greater overall performance. - HG-X directional chain: Outer side is optimized for front shifting and inner side is optimized for rear shifting. Side Swing Front Derailleur: - Horizontal movement follows the chain direction - Smooth & efficient front shifting effort
