Morning Y'all,
As above - their kit seems to be good value and lightweight - also ten speed compatible.
Seems like one of the few alternatives these days to the big boys.

Any thoughts?
Never heard of it.
Prices?
I think their 10 speed shifters are £49.99, mech about the same......
I got a catalog recently with a magazine and they have a two page spread in their.
Weights quoted seem on par with the bigger names.
I looked at one 10speed road mech 198g 😕
only heard about them for road stuff - hadn't realised they did mtb too. their road stuff has a good rep.
has in the past been garbage found on supermarket bikes ! .... but could be improving
road stuff on meridas low end bike wasnt bad last year !
As I recall there was chatter on the weight weenies site regarding the twist shifters, got mixed reviews.
My LBS recommended I give their front mech a go on my On-One build.
So far it has performed as well as any SRAM or Shimano front mech I've ever run.
i do have one complaint - on some of their stuff changing a cable is a new shifter job as they have a tendancy to explode ! - and their shimano compatible stuff (if it was that - came on bikes specced with shimano mechs and microshift shifters from the supermarket) never worked together ....
I've had a play on a couple of mtbs with their top stuff on - it's hideous. Stiff shifting, random indexing, plasticky components, etc, etc. Get XT or SLX.

I've got their stuff on my cross bike and road bike.
I have the sti shifters on the cross bike and I can't fault them.As easy to shift up as Shimano and a good solid down shift.
Also have the "Arsis" carbon rear mech on the road bike,running with Shimano Ultegra everything else.Not put a foot wrong so far.
I think Roy Hunt(Vets champ) runs it for cross.
Best thing about them is that when you're on the hoods you just knuckle to shift down, genius.
