Yes you can, jump 8 gears at once, shift gears stopped, it's almost where it comes into its own. It's a bit agricultural compared to nice, neat top-end Shimano, but it's liberating to be able to not care about transmission — as long as you do a micro lift on downshifts (it trained me to treat my derailleur much better tbh)
