Gear Changes at the Touch of a Button

The FlatShifter Max is a fully electronic gearshift system which can be best described as an 'electronic limb' which is operated by two discreet buttons or (optional extra) paddles. In the case of bikes, the buttons are usually mounted on the left handlebar conveniently beneath the thumb; in cars the buttons or paddles are mounted on the steering wheel.

The system is powered by the car or bike's electrical system and uses a powerful electrical solenoid to replace the action of the hand or foot for gear selection. Unlike air shifters, once fitted there is virtually no maintenance, no bulky gas bottles to fill or to inconveniently run out.

It is dual acting for both up & down shifts, and is very fast and consistent - typically 35 - 50 milliseconds on Japanese gearboxes but also works on almost any sequential gearbox from motorbikes to rally and race cars.

Suitable for virtually any kind of riding, whether you are looking for a fast change for racing or track days, comfort and convenience when cruising, or whether you have a disability preventing you from changing gear with your hand or foot - the FlatShifter Max is the ideal solution for everyone.

Over the past few years we have seen an massive increase in bike-engined road and race cars, again it is perfect for this application, giving you a true F1 type feel, using either steering wheel buttons or optional paddles for a truly slick gearchang. When combined with the FlatShifter Pro or Expert quickshifters this provides a lightning fast, fully automatic gear changing system operated at the push of a button.
