CLASSIFIED//POWERSHIFT HUB (UPGRADE)
Reilly Cycleworks is delighted to announce its partnership with Classified Cycling to offer the revolutionary Powershift as an upgrade on Reilly titanium adventure and road bikes.

The Powershift is a wireless 2-speed rear hub which does away with the need for a front derailleur. Under development for the past seven years, Belgian start-up Classified finally launched the ground-breaking piece of kit to market in 2021 to rave reviews, with the backing of former world champion cyclist Tom Boonen. Powershift has the simplicity of a 1x drivechain with all the benefits of a 2x system, but what really marks it out is the superfast, wireless shifting which enables the rider to change gear instantly, even under full load. The Powershift also offers a marginal weight saving with the loss of the front derailleur and inner chainring, aero gains which will appeal to time trialists and a more precise and efficient chainline.
“Classified CC have created an advanced piece of tech that will become a go-to gear setup for adventure and gravel riding. Having tested it, I was keen to offer this smart shift technology to Reilly customers,” said Business Development Director, Chris Ratcliff. “I feel there is a natural synergy between Classified and Reilly in our bid to offer cyclists solutions and I am pleased to confirm our partnership and offer the Powershift as an upgrade on our complete range of titanium bikes.”
Reilly has a strong working relationship with Sussex-based wheel brand Strada, so it made perfect sense to build the Powershift into their handbuilt wheels. The Strada All Season wheelset range is 100% handlaced and tensioned in their workshop in Arundel, providing quality with long term durability and the bonus of a ‘true for life’ warranty.
The Powershift x Strada All Season wheelset is available as an upgrade on Gradients, Gradient T47s and Spectres. The Powershift is also available for the T325D or T640D in a Strada Carbon Aero Road Performance wheelset in 35, 45 & 55mm profiles.
