- zero batteries

All New. All Mountain.

You ride big. You need a drivetrain that can keep up.

Advent MX is a completely new design: the most robust, high-performance group we’ve ever made.

Get ready for the longest cassette life, fastest shifting, and strongest chain retention you’ve ever seen from Microshift.

SpeedRamp: Fast and Strong

By using chromoly steel and extra hardening on the smaller sprockets, our new cassette lasts 6x longer than Advent X.

The all new design has 64 total ramps between cogs, allowing the chain to move quickly even under extremely high torque.

Ready To Get Rowdy

With an extra-beefy horizontal parallelogram, Igus bushings, and our strongest clutch ever, MX will keep your chain managed no matter what you decide to try.

Make smart decisions. Or don’t. MX will handle it.

Precise, Adjustable Shifting

MX has a trigger shifter designed for the tighter, more repeatable response.

And, with 12mm of lateral adjustment via the clamp, you can make sure the levers are exactly where you want them.

Big Hits? No Big Deal.

The MX design is focused on chain stability, because shifting performance doesn’t matter if your chain falls off.

Derailleur Highlights

Horizontal Parallelogram

With a parallelogram that only moves sideways, vertical and horizontal forces are isolated. This means when you land, the forces goes straight to the clutch, and that keeps the chain more stable.

Low Friction

The cable redirection pulley allows a more direct cable path and reduces cable friction and shifting tension. This allows the clutch to be stronger without increasing shifting force.

Stronger Clutch

Not only is the new clutch mechanism stronger, it also engages instantly and silently.

The cover can also be removed for easy maintenance.

Replaceable Cage

If you send it too hard, you can swap in a new cage instead of replacing the whole derailleur.

Conquer unexpected climbs.

With a wide 11-50t spread and fast shifting response under load, MX reacts beautifully even when you don’t plan ahead.

Cassette Highlights

Tough, Not Heavy

By using an aluminum spider and outer sprockets, we’ve retained MX’s durability without adding too much weight. At 480g, it’s a featherweight compared to other high durability cassettes on the market.

HG or XD

For the first time, Microshift is offering this cassette in both HG and XD fitments. Go ahead, put this on your “A” bike.

SpeedRamp

If you can achieve faster response without sacrificing durability, why wouldn’t you? SpeedRamp has dedicated shapes for moving the chain up AND down the cassette, making it lightning fast.

Chromoly Sprockets

The 11-28t cogs are made of extra hard chromoly. In durability testing on high torque e-bikes, MX outlives our competitor’s best. And the smallest cogs are individually replaceable.

Don’t think. Just ride.

MX’s faster, more ergonomic shifting
doesn’t demand attention. It just works.

Shifter Highlights

Adjustable Clamp

With 12mm of lateral adjustment, you can easily adjust the shifter’s contact point inboard or outboard without interfering with your brake levers.

4x Faster Engagement

Split seconds matter. We redesigned the shifting mechanism to remove dead play, resulting in 4x quicker engagement compared to Advent X.

Line choice matters.

MX is available in 11 speed and 10 speed. The 10 speed version is compatible with Advent X, so you can upgrade one component at a time.

Get it.

Compatibility FAQ

What kind of chain should I use?

Advent MX 11 is compatible with 11 speed chains. In our testing, we found that the KMC E-Glide chain lasted the longest and had the best shifting response.

Advent MX 10 is compatible with 10 speed chains.

Can I mix and match Advent MX with Shimano groups?

The MX 11 cassette is fully compatible with Shimano CUES and can be interchanged at will. The shifter and derailleur are compatible with Microshift only.

The MX 10 group is fully compatible with Advent X and Sword 10.

Should I use an MX or an MX Black rear derailleur to replace an Advent X rear derailleur?

Both are compatible – they use the same cable pull ratio.

How do I adjust the clutch on an MX rear derailleur?

We have video instructions for this process here. Make sure you don’t grease or overtighten the clutch assembly.

Does the MX Black rear derailleur have a replaceable cage?

No. However, you can replace the MX Black derailleur with an MX derailleur, which has a replaceable cage.

Can I use MX sealed bearing pulleys on an Advent X rear derailleur?

Yes, they have the same dimensions and tooth count.
