If it's new, then chances are the cables have stretched (which is normal) and the rear mech needs adjustment. Turn the barrel adjuster counter-clockwise a half turn at a time until they start shifting smoothly again.

generally you ease of the gas slightly when shifting only for a nanosecond mind if you shift while on full gas and pressure you sometime experience your problem too
