Elevate Your Adventure: The MICROSHIFT Sword 2x9s Groupset
Unlock the full potential of your gravel or all-road bike with the MICROSHIFT Sword 2x9s groupset, engineered to deliver modern performance, exceptional ergonomics, and incredible value. We believe that entry-level and enthusiast gravel bikes should benefit from specific, purpose-built drivetrains, just like top-tier professional bikes. The SWORD group brings this philosophy to life, offering a range of highly functional products with an outstanding performance-to-price ratio, making premium features accessible to every rider.
Designed from the ground up for the demands of Gravel and Road Cycling, the SWORD groupset is the perfect upgrade for riders seeking reliability, comfort, and control on mixed terrain. The system is built around a pair of innovative SWORD BLACK shifters, featuring ergonomics tailored specifically for use with flared drop handlebars. The hood shape and lever body are sculpted to provide a secure and comfortable hand position, while the high pivot point of the brake lever makes braking from the hoods easier and more controlled, boosting your confidence on technical descents. For maximum control and vibration damping, the shifters are equipped with textured silicone hoods and lever padding, ensuring a non-slip grip in all weather conditions.
At the heart of the drivetrain is the robust SWORD BLACK 2×9 long cage rear derailleur. It features a strong spring and durable construction to provide crisp, reliable shifting lap after lap, even when the road gets rough. Paired with the versatile wide-range ADVENT 11-38T cassette, this 2×9-speed system offers an expansive gear range. You´ll have the low-end torque needed to spin up the steepest gravel climbs and the high-end gears to keep pace on fast road sections, ensuring you´re always in the optimal gear.
This groupset integrates seamlessly into modern frame designs with its support for internal cable routing, providing a clean, professional aesthetic while protecting cables from the elements. It is fully compatible with reliable and powerful mechanical disc brakes, the standard for all-weather stopping power in gravel and adventure cycling. The SWORD groupset also offers excellent cross-compatibility within the MICROSHIFT ecosystem, working flawlessly with other Sword, Sword Black, and Advent components. With the addition of versatile cranksets to the lineup, SWORD stands as our most popular and accessible groupset to date, representing the ideal gateway to a superior riding experience.
