Thumbs up for the new SRAM X.9 trigger shifters featuring technologies from the X.0! Zero Loss Travel and adjustable clamp positions make the X.9 an affordable brother of the X.0. It features IMPULSE technology. With simply the thumbs, you can pull and release the cable with ease.

It also has a carbon fiber upper cover that makes the shifter set lightweight. It features:
