All the news at the moment seems to be about SRAM. Anyway we just received an email from Elmar Keineke from SRAM about news of a new groupset, here’s what he said:
Next summer, SRAM, RockShox, Avid and Truvativ will jointly launch an MTB
group called XX™.
The group will exceed the demands of the cross-country
athlete through all-new technologies focused on precision, efficiency, and
weight. Further details will not be released until a global launch during
Summer 2009.
Stay tuned for more….
There you go. We’ll have to wait and see if things like the XX in the name hints at a new 10 speed drive train or if rumours of an increased use of carbon and ceramic parts are true.
