HAND GRIP SHIFTERS
Some bicycles will have a shifting mechanism which is built into the handlebar grips and does not make
use of separate levers. To select a lower gear, twist the right shifter toward you to engage a larger rear
cog. You can shift one gear at a time or through multiple gears by continued twisting. By twisting the
left shifter forward or away from you, a smaller chainwheel can be selected. To select a higher gear,
twist the right shifter forward or away from you to engage a smaller rear cog. To engage a larger front
chainwheel, twist the left shifter towards you. Single shifts can be achieved by twisting one click at a
time and multiple shifts by larger twists.
