Reviews & Ratings
The reviewer tests the SENSAH Team Pro shifters to convert an 11-speed Shimano 105 rim brake groupset to 12-speed. They state the shifters are designed to work with the pull ratio of 11-speed Shimano rear derailleurs and a 12-speed cassette. They find the shifting performance to be excellent, with crisp, tactile, and perfectly indexed shifts. The shifters are lighter than Shimano 105, have a carbon blade, and feature premium, grippy hood rubbers comparable to Shimano. The braking feel is on par with Shimano. However, the reviewer criticizes the SRAM DoubleTap-style shifting mechanism, finding it less intuitive than Shimano's system and noting it can sometimes cause accidental brake actuation during shifts. They conclude the product is an excellent solution for building a budget 12-speed rim brake bike or upgrading older bikes, but see little point in upgrading from a fully functional 11-speed groupset just for 12-speed.
