Saw this at www.srsuntour-cycling.com. No details yet though. Could this be similar to the Rohloff Speedhub except located in the crank/BB area rather than the rear hub? ----- The next generation of shifting
This bike has already been presented at the 05 Eurobike show but not to public. Since we finished our rideable and testable production gear box "V16" there's no reason anymore to hide our latest project. Yes we did develop a whole new gear box system and yes, it is definitely rideable!
Watch out for our V-16 gear box evolution, very soon to come.
Technical details
number of gears: 9 speed
G-CON international gear box mounting standard: YES
future features: 16 gears, magnesium cast housing,
weight (N/A) (...not far away from XT group)  |

They probably follow the same mounting standard so will look similar.
I googled the item and found this old post from Farkin.net back in 2003:
G-Boxx is just the name for the gearbox mounting standard, Evil/Nicolai cooked up a modified Rohloff as their gearbox, but the standard is supposed to allow for the widest number of other possible gearboxes to be mounted. Word is at least 2 other companies are looking to join the market quick smart.
It's also supposed to be backwards compatible...so say Giant can come out with a G-Boxx that bolts straight onto a Team DH while Intense can come up with their own to stick in an old M1. (Ryan)
This is just a post though so I'm not sure if it's reliable. Also, I guess the "backward compatibility" part wasn't pursued.

I knew it!! It's a Nicolai Nucleon TST. I had a feeling that was a Nicolai but I wasn't sure... so i did a little research. Suntour is part of the manufacturers for the G-boxx.

Suntour is part of the manufacturers for the G-boxx. brad, where can I read about this? Can you share the links? The G-Boxx website lists only two manufacturers: SR Suntour and Universal Transmissions (its CEO is Karlheinz Nicolai). Thanks. |

EuroBike - Thinking Inside the BoxWritten by Jon Beckett Fotos: Carl Lottering-Geeson Eurobike 2006 will be remembered for a few things this year but one which almost every media mongrel has clung onto was the fact that more and more mainstream manufacturers are now looking at a way to graft one of the few gear box systems onto their latest range....
