CLASSIFIED POWERSHIFT: Full Suspension Gravel Bike Project - Part Four

In this video, JOM Of the Gravel Cyclist crew reveals the next part of the Full Suspension Gravel Bike project; the wheels, which comprise part of the shifting drivetrain. Meet the Classified G30 wheelset with Powershift Hub.

"POWERSHIFT is a 2 speed hub replacing the front derailleur. Classified’s POWERSHIFT technology is integrated in its world class carbon wheelsets, ready to fit your bike!" - https://classified-cycling.cc

How It Works:
"Is there an alternative for the front derailleur, offering the same functionality while getting rid of all the downsides? After 7 years of development, we introduce POWERSHIFT technology: a wireless 2 speed shifting system, integrated in the rear hub, allowing you to change gears in a split second, under full load and on any terrain."

Shift Button:
"A shifter or a satellite shift button will trigger a shift and is attached to the Smart Handlebar Unit, sending out a wireless signal."

Smart Thru-Axle:
"The Smart Thru Axle receives the wireless shift signal and will trigger the hub to shift using contactless energy transfer."

Powershift Hub:
"The Powershift hub, when receiving the signal, will shift between 2 ratios."
Example gear ratios, Big Chainring is 48T, Virtual Small chainring is 33T
Big Chainring is 50T, Virtual Small Chainring is 34T

CF G30 Wheelset:
"The CF G30, our gravel wheel, is built to withstand the most challenging adventures while keeping the wheels light and stiff to increase ride comfort."

One-Piece Steel Cassettes:
For this review sample, 12 Speed 11-34, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 19, 21, 24, 27, 30, 34
