This can increase the safety and comfort of the vehicle and allow for faster gear shifting (usually shifting in less than 50 milliseconds) and is thus a popular performance enhancement for motorcycles. == Working mechanism == Almost all quickshifters for upshifts on motorcycles work on the same basis: a microcontroller detects the gear shift action via a sensor, calculates the shift timing, and momentar
thumb|Quickshifter on a BMW S1000RR motorcycle. A quickshifter or quick shifter is a device that eliminates the need to use the clutch or throttle when shifting gears on a manual transmission. This can increase the safety and comfort of the vehicle and allow for faster gear shifting (usually shifting in less than 50 milliseconds) and is thus a popular performance enhancement for motorcycles.
== Working mechanism == Almost all quickshifters for upshifts on motorcycles work on the same basis: a microcontroller detects the gear shift action via a sensor, calculates the shift timing, and momentarily cuts off the ignition, resulting in a reduction of the load at the transmission allowing the engine speed to match the transmission speed of the next gear and permit the gear to slip (and engage) into place. However, the method of sensing and reducing the load can vary.
