Classic simplicity meets modern drivetrain versatility with Ene Ciclo Down Tube Shifters. Featuring smooth friction shifting and a ratcheting mechanism, these shifters offer precise, reliable control without the complexity of indexed shifting. They’re an excellent choice for classic builds, touring bikes, restorations, or anyone who appreciates the dependable feel of a well-made friction shifter.
The 8/9/10-speed version features attractive scalloped detailing and works with a wide range of drivetrains, including 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-, 9-, and 10-speed setups.
The 11-speed version has a cleaner, more modern appearance and can pull up to 50mm of cable, giving it enough range to operate nearly any road or mountain rear derailleur. It can also be used with 7-, 8-, and 9-speed drivetrains. It is compatible with Shimano 10-speed Dyna-Sys, but not Shimano 11-speed Dyna-Sys.
Because of its oversized barrel, the 11-speed version is not compatible with thumb-shifter mounts from other manufacturers. Ene Ciclo offers its own dedicated thumb-shifter version for riders looking for that configuration.
