A shifting process starts by actuating the shifter. Continue pedalling dur-
ing gear shifting, however, at reduced pedalling force.
With the big lever (thumb shifter) you shift to the larger sprockets
(Fig. 114). Shifting with the right thumb shifter therefore leads to a lower
gear. This is an indexed shifting system with the option of shifting several
gears with one action.
Pulling the small lever located in front of the handlebar from the rider’s
viewpoint and actuated with the index finger (index finger lever) (Fig. 115)
shifts the chain towards the smaller sprockets, i.e. to the heavy gears.

Warning
Always wear straight-cut trousers and/or use trouser clips or the like. This is
to make sure your trousers do not get caught in the chain.
Warning
Shifting gears under load, i.e. while pedalling hard, can make the chain slip.
