What is heel to toe shifting and what is it for?
In: 3
Heel to toe shifting is used on some motorcycles (especially Harley Davidson brands).
I have a Honda. It does not have H-T shifting. To downshift, I have to press down on the shifter. To upshift, I have to place my foot under the shifter and lift up. There is a lot of moving your foot around the shifter, but it quickly becomes second nature.
With a H-T setup, your foot sits more or less flat on a board that has a front and a back actuator. You press the back(?) to upshift, the front(?) to downshift – could be backwards, I have ridden one but never owned one, so it has been a while. The shifting motion changes from moving your foot around an actuator to rocking your foot front or back. Personal preference determines which you use.
