With wireless electronic shifting and just one 11-40T Classified cassette, Powershift will bump up your MTB gearing range to 530% whether you are riding a Shimano 12sp or SRAM Eagle 1x drivetrain…
Classified’s two-speed internally geared Powershift hub brings 2x drivetrains back to mountain bikes with one new 12-speed MTB hub that works for both Shimano & SRAM drivetrains, plus new Boost-spaced hubs and a tiny wireless thumb shifter. That’s right, with wireless electronic shifting and just one 11-40T Classified cassette, Powershift will bump up your MTB gearing range to 530% whether you are riding a Shimano 12sp or SRAM Eagle 1x drivetrain…c.
. Sure, Classified assures that the internals, axle, bearings & seals have all been upgraded to handle the harder life of a mountain bike, but the functional bits are the same concept: a 1:0.68 ratio planetary reduction gear, a wireless electronic controller in the end of the Smart axle that doesn’t need to be recharged, and a wireless remote shifter that you can neatly integrate into your existing cockpit setup.
Weights for the system are claimed at 485g for the Powershift Boost MTB internal gear hub, 72g for the Smart axle, 125g for the 28-hole straight-pull centerlock disc brake hub shell OR 165g for the 32h j-bend 6-bolt disc shell, 24g for the Bluetooth Ringshifter, and 248g for the 12-speed 11-40T cassette. The Shimano AND SRAM compatible cassette includes the following gear steps: 11-12-13-14-15-17-19-22-25-29-34-40.
Interestingly weight-wise, Classified compares their complete Powershift setup with their own wheelset at 2151g as quite comparable to a Shimano XT or SRAM GX setup with a light DT Swiss XRC 1501 carbon wheelset and the stock cassettes with more limited gearing. Like the road & gravel Classified Powershift, the new MTB version will be available in several different ways.

Neural Integration of Audiovisual Sensory Inputs in Macaque Amygdala and Adjacent Regions - Neuroscience BulletinIntegrating multisensory inputs to generate accurate perception and guide behavior is among the most critical functions of the brain. Subcortical regions such as the amygdala are involved in sensory processing including vision and audition, yet their roles in multisensory integration remain unclear. In this study, we systematically investigated the function of neurons in the amygdala and adjacent regions in integrating audiovisual sensory inputs using a semi-chronic multi-electrode array and multiple combinations of audiovisual stimuli. From a sample of 332 neurons, we showed the diverse response patterns to audiovisual stimuli and the neural characteristics of bimodal over unimodal modulation, which could be classified into four types with differentiated regional origins. Using the hierarchical clustering method, neurons were further clustered into five groups and associated with different integrating functions and sub-regions. Finally, regions distinguishing congruent and incongruent bimodal sensory inputs were identified. Overall, visual processing dominates audiovisual integration in the amygdala and adjacent regions. Our findings shed new light on the neural mechanisms of multisensory integration in the primate brain.
