Microshift Acolyte MTB 1x8 Speed 12-46T Groupset

There are plenty of obstacles in the trail – don’t let your drivetrain be one of them. Our all-new Acolyte group delivers the wide range and simplicity of a top-of-the-line shifting system, all at a price point that would make sense on your first bike. With rock solid chain retention, intuitive shifting action, and enough gear range to climb a wall, you’ll be free to focus on what’s important: building your skills. Acolyte is an innovative wide range 1x8 group with a completely new clutch design that brings the cost of entry for a 1x group down to a new price point.

Who is it for? Riders buying their first real mountain bike, or anyone who isn’t interested in using a front derailleur if they don’t have to.
