The VukaR2C aero shifter is a milestone in our efforts to develop cockpit components that combine high-performance aerodynamics with superior ergonomics. Once you position the lever at the natural angle for your hand position, the VukaR2C’s return-to-center actuation resets the lever to its original angle after every shift, keeping you as low and as comfortable as possible. Weighing just 180 grams per pair, the VukaR2C is also the first plug-in shifter designed with an aerodynamic profile that saves up to 6 seconds over 40km compared to a standard lever.
Strengths: sleak look,index shifting to the millasecond and of course always returning to center...also SRAM/ZIPP Warranty Tech...they are very good about making sure your product works or is replaced
Weaknesses: Ratchet system needs tweeking...stronger teeth...willing to sacrifice aliitle weight for heavier stronger teeth
Bottom Line:
A great looking shifter..concept is very easy to learn and saves major time from the TT900..when shifting I hate to bend my wrist fumbling to get in the right index when in the cockpit....that being said...the ratchet system is very fragile...if not intalled properly ..the teeth get misaligned and eventually strip...leaving you with no transmission..this is my second pair that has done that...SRAM/ZIPP needs to be proactive in communication with LBS's about proper installation...with the nearly $400 price tag you would expect you'd get top knotch product
