It's only really needed for racing as it reduces the time you're off the throttle by fractions of a second. Over the course of a race those fractions add up to faster lap times.
Not true, especially as new bikes of today have these "factory fitted" on one of the bikes i have, the quickshifter is factory fitted and it also alloys downshifts ! You roll off the throttle and as you tap the lever it blips the throttle and changes down a gear without the need to pull the clutch lever in ! the bike in question ain't a sport bike either.
Don't be fooled by bods whom say they can do the same by rolling off the throttle and quickly snapping up on the gear lever ! They can't, a quickshifter allows you to change gear 4x faster than a blink of the eye.
