SRAM has just released a new website teasing a "revolution in transmission technology" called the Truvativ Hammer Schmidt. We have some guesses as to what sort of a transmission system this is, but shall remain tight lipped for a little bit longer. Here's a hint though, you can probably forget about the front derailleur...

If you can speculate what the engineering gurus at SRAM have dreamt up for the future of MTB transmission technology leave a comment below and let us know what you think...

Cable looks hittable....??! REally.

I never seem to hit derailleur cables that run under the BB.
The pic shows the FR/DH version. The XC version is coming but it requires an ISG mount on the BB.
I got the whole run down on it from someone who has ridden it and spent some days with it. I trust his word and he says it's definately the future for FR/DH bikes.

Will have to wait for the XC version to judge. I imagine that there would be more friction losses so maybe not ideal for XC just yet.
