Why the Healtech Quick Shifter is a Must-Have

Why the Healtech Quick Shifter is a Must-Have

Posted by Trevor Schnitz on 5th Feb 2025

Does Your Bike Feel Left Out?

Got an older motorcycle that didn’t come with a quick shifter like the fancy new sportbikes? You’re not alone. Most motorcycles didn’t get factory quick shifters until the mid-to-late 2010s. The first production bike to feature one was the 2009 BMW S1000RR, but Japanese and other European manufacturers didn’t catch up until much later.

So, What is a Quick Shifter Anyway?

A quick shifter is a performance upgrade that lets you shift gears without using the clutch or rolling off the throttle. It temporarily cuts power to the engine, unloading the gearbox and allowing for lightning-fast, buttery-smooth shifts. Originally built for racing, it’s now a must-have for both track and street riders looking to shave time off shifts and boost overall performance.

How Much Time Can a Quick Shifter Save in the 1/4 Mile?

Looking to squeeze every bit of speed out of your bike? A quick shifter can cut your ET by 0.05 to 0.15 seconds in the 1/4 mile. While that may not sound like much, it adds up—especially in competitive drag racing. Your actual time savings will depend on your bike, shift timing, and riding technique, but it’s free speed without adding horsepower.

Why a Quick Shifter Makes Every Ride More Fun

  • Full-throttle acceleration – Keep the power flowing with uninterrupted shifts.

  • Smoother, faster gear changes – No more jerky shifts or lost momentum.

  • Less clutch work – Your left hand will thank you in traffic.

  • Effortless city riding – No more fumbling for the clutch during stop-and-go commutes.

  • Race-bike vibes – Every shift feels crisp and professional, just like MotoGP.
