I haven't been able to feel both shifters and I'm looking for a short throw (Can't stand the 2nd to 3rd shift). I only got the feel the Pro 5.0 shifter, what are some of your opinions on the Steeda Tri-Axe?

same shifter only 5.0 made from steel as tri-ax is aluminum, but unless your the hulk and going to break something the steel is not a big deal, I've never heard of someone bending a steeda handle ever. I went with the tri-ax.

Performance wise there is not much difference...feel wise, moderate difference. You NEED to try both for yourself...really.

The pro 5.0 has much shorter shifts and a different handle design. I like the handle design of the triax but the feel and shifting of the pro 5.0

There have been numerous threads asking this same questions. Those with 5.0's will say its the best and those with Tri-Ax's will vote for it. They are both quality shifters and a world better than stock. I say just get which ever one your most interested in or can get the best deal on.

Diddo on all of the above...which is why some people do the Pro-5.0 with a Tri-Ax handle. I've had both shifters and after a while I got tired of the Pro-5.0's hardcore nature. The Tri-Ax feels much more tame and comfortable, but still executes flawless shifts.

I have tried 4 different shifters and actually own/ed both the Tri-ax and Pro 5.0...I prefer the Pro 5.0. It gets rid of the factory style shifter handle bend...and feels stouter.

They are both great shifters though...

Aluminum doesn't bend (like steel) - it breaks!
