Sturmey Archer 3-Speed Internal Fixed Hub

Sunrace Sturmey Archer has released a few images of the long rumored 3-speed internally geared fixed hub. Not quite a reissue of the legendary and highly collectible ASC, the pictured S3X is a modern incarnation with a proposed 160% gear range. Read more at the Sturmey Archer blog and keep your fingers crossed that this sees production, and that we can get a hub for review.

    any clue why no company hasn’t produced these already? Is there really not a big enough market for them?

    A company already has produced these, “Sturmey Archer”. It was pretty normal in racing when people road raced with fixed gears. It kind of left the market after derailleurs became the normal with, 3, 5, 9…speed drive trains.

    Any idea on the price of these bad boys. Seems to me that would be pretty slick for a polo setup and commuter for all those fixie travellers out there. I want!

    They are going to ruin the spacing (too wide). Check out my comments at: http://bikehugger.com/2008/09/fixednot_really_sturmey_archer.htm
