- The 'clicks' feel 'plasticky', and not particularly 'precision-like' The click is the same for those compared to old generation? How can you tell?

Light and crisp shifting. I like! But only for XC. And for people who complains that Sram is going backward: this happened because of the popular demand. And the one with the gearbox complain. They've done that (kind of), with Shlump's design Hammersmith. And it was heavy and costy. We're talking about something more for the XC scene here, where light is king. And we're not talking about cheap gripshift from xingwong shifter here. Old X.9 shifter from Sram use to be VERY reliable. Just not for DH for my opinion.
