SAMPSON STRATICS & SHOWTIME GROUPS

Amazed. That's the typical response after someone rides the new Sampson shifters and derailleurs. With Sampson’s Intuishift™ design, shifting is suddenly second nature. All you need to do is focus on your riding, not the operation of your shifters! Fast, smooth and great looking, the new Sampson components give you top of the market features with remarkable value!




  • Stratics shifters feature carbon outer lever with a forged alloy inner lever
  • Showtime shifters use top alloy and steel and plastic inner lever
  • Shifters function with the large inner paddle controlling upshift-push for 1,2 or 3 cogs
  • The top button releases cable for downshifts - one cog per push. Super easy to get a downshift while climbing or sprinting too! The short lever also physically has far less distance to travel to initiate the shift for extremely fast shifts
  • Left hand lever controls front derailleur, and there is trim for noiseless operation in all cogs! Triple options are available with the Showtime groups
  • Lever shapes allow for fingers to be wrapped on front for climbing. The close to bar fit makes them a joy to use for riders with smaller hands, and the downshift pod is almost automatic in operation
  • Front derailleur shifts well under load and has full trim features
  • Stratics rear derailleur features a carbon outer link plate, and two 11 t pulleys that are made from CNC alu. alloy that spins almost friction-free on sealed cartridge bearings! The jockey wheels make the Stratics rear derailleur a sensational value!
  • Showtime rear derailleur features an alloy mounting bolt, polished body, and smooth rolling nylon jockey wheels. Tested tough already in road, tri, and cross use!
  • The Stratics and Showtime shifters and derailleurs are compatible with Shimano 10 speed shifters and derailleurs, but not Sram equipment. Either a Shaimano or Sram cassette can be used with the Stratics or Showtime equipment
