Classified Powershift

Classified and TRP’s new 1×16 groupset hits the market for £2,370, promising “a breakthrough in drivetrain design”

The Vistar Powershift claims to offer riders the "widest-range road and gravel groupset" out there, with 15 or 16 individually sequenced gears — all without the need for a front mech, more than one chainring or anything bigger than 12 cogs at the back
