MICROSHIFT SWORD BLACK 1×9 Drop Bar Shifter & Brake Lever Set
Elevate your gravel riding experience with the MICROSHIFT SWORD BLACK Ride Brake Levers with Shifters, engineered specifically for the demands of modern all-road and gravel adventures. Entry-level gravel bikes should benefit from specific drivetrains, just like more specialized bikes, and this set delivers precisely that, offering premium features at an accessible price point.
The SWORD BLACK group offers a range of functional products with an excellent quality-to-price ratio, including 1x and 2x derailleurs, a robust spring, and user-friendly ergonomics for flared handlebars. With the addition of 1x and 2x cranksets to the lineup, SWORD BLACK stands as our most popular and accessible groupset to date, making it the perfect choice for your next build or upgrade.
Designed from the ground up for drop bars, the SWORD shifters and brakes are optimized for control and comfort on varied terrain. The lever body and hood shape feature gravel-specific ergonomics, with a gradually rounded outer edge and a smooth surface that perfectly accommodates the wrap of flared handlebars. This intelligent design eliminates uncomfortable pressure points, allowing you to ride longer and with greater confidence. The hoods have a high pivot point and a raised peak, providing a secure and comfortable hand position, while textured traction pads ensure a non-slip grip, even in wet conditions or on rough descents.
Experience crisp and reliable shifting performance with the 9-speed right-hand lever, designed for a 1s setup. The left lever is a dedicated brake-only unit, offering a clean and simple cockpit for 1x drivetrains. Both levers are engineered for maximum control, featuring a short reach and silicone padding on the lever´s primary contact point for enhanced braking feel and modulation. These shifters are fully compatible with mechanical disc brakes and traditional road caliper brakes, offering versatile setup options for your bike. The internal cable routing provides a sleek, modern aesthetic while protecting your cables from the elements. As part of a cohesive ecosystem, this set is compatible with both SWORD and the widely acclaimed ADVENT 9-speed series components.
Whether you are building a budget-friendly gravel grinder, upgrading an older road cycling bike for off-road duty, or seeking a reliable alternative for your all-road machine, the MICROSHIFT SWORD BLACK levers provide the performance, ergonomics, and durability you need to conquer any path.
