It permits upshifts and downshifts
without declutching in virtually all
load and rpm ranges.
Advantages
70-80 % of all gearshifts on a
trip can be done without using
the clutch.
Less relative movement
between rider and passenger
because the shift pauses are
shorter.

spring through a certain "over-
