Microshift Arsis Group Set (Carbon/Black) Review
I bought this product at the end of 2011. I have put roughly 4k miles on it since then, without any faults in shifting. The shifting of this product is very positive. You won't get the subtle shifts you get with shimano or campy, but what you get is an unquestionable, and undeniably positive shift into gear *clack!* (a good thing, in my opinion). Using this product, I have never missed, or dropped my chain with front derailleur shifting. I have not tuned it, either (except for new cable stretch, which is to be expected). The shift throws of the Upshift for the FD, and the downshift of the RD are a bit long, but they're also very sure. Mind you, however, this is an older generation; the new generation (which my father has) has much shorter throws, and improved hoods...ask microSHIFT about it.In terms of equivalents from other companies, Arsis Group is the premier group from microSHIFT. There is still work to be done to be as refined as their big brothers at Shimano and Campy, but they're very much coming along. One point the other companies cannot beat, is the price.
I started as a shimano boy, running through the ultegra series (6500 9 speed, 6600 10 speed, and 6700 10 speed), and these products are not comparable in terms of feel. RELIABILITY on the other hand is comparable. Claimed weights of ARSIS are also between DA and Ultegra, if that gets your goat.
The isolated brake, upshift, downshift levers are nice too. You're never confused, and it is very very easy to get used to.
SUMMARY:
In my experience so far you get: reliability, positive upshifts, easy downshifts, light weight, and excellent pricing.
