Microshift Groupset MTB Super Short - ACOLYTE 1x8 Speed

Microshift Acolyte Super Short MTB Groupset 1x8 Speed 11-38T For 20" Wheels

Kids today have it so good. They’ve got lightweight mountain bikes with high-end tires, fine-tuned suspension, and modern geometry. There’s only one thing they’re missing: a real drivetrain. That’s where we come in with a Real Mountain Bike Drivetrain for 20" Wheels. We started with the DNA of our ADVENT mountain bike group. Then we made every part smaller and easier to use. Lighter shifting, shorter reach, and more ground clearance, all with the same great chain retention, metal construction, and wide range. The shift levers sit closer to the handlebar, and the lever throw per shift is 43% shorter than the competition. No shifter is more dialed for small hands. Most derailleurs don’t fit 20″ wheels, and the ones that do aren’t meant for real mountain biking. Super Short has the same clutch and metal construction as our standard ADVENT and Acolyte groups, so the groms can ride as hard as they want without the chain falling off. To work better with small wheels and keep the ground clearance high, we designed Super Short to work with an 11-38T cassette. When you pair that with a 20” wheels, you get a gear low enough to scale mountains.  ADVENT and Acolyte are popular for a reason, so we didn’t remove any features when we made them Super Short.
