LATEST DIRT

MICROSHIFT ADVENT GROUP SET

MSH-CS-H093 11-

MICROSHIFT ADVENT Cassette for 9s, 11-42T, 11-13-

15-18-21-24-28-34-42, ED Black, 42T Steel

RRP $54.

 When it comes to adventurous riding, a wider gear

range is often better. With 9 speed and a 11-42T

range, the ADVENT cassette has the low gears you

need to get up and the high gears to get back

down. The steps between gears are

fully repairable. The derailleur kinematics are also

precisely tuned to use a more direct cable path,

making the shifting response consistent across all

gears. With bombproof construction capable of

handling the realest mountain bike abuse, ADVENT

competes favourably with drivetrains that cost twice

as much.

• Reliable ratchet-and-pawl clutch is easily
  adjustable and repairable


• Direct path cable routing for smooth and
  responsive shifting


• Compatible with 11-42T 9-speed cassettes


• Compatible with ADVENT shifters only
