Sturmey Archer S3X – Hub Specs and Shifters

November 21, 2008 in Moulton

From the Sunrace Sturmey Archer site

Thank you everyone for your comments. The response to the new S3X has been overwhelming and we are really looking forward to finishing up and getting this hub into your hands.
The name will not be changing. I appreciate everyone’s thoughts on naming it after Sheldon, it just is not possible.
Some of the most asked questions should be answered with the below pictures. Hub will be 120mm OLD. Two shifters, top mount thumb and bar end. Cog interface is a standard Shimano spline.



The post shows details of a bar-mounted thumb shifter…

  1. Thats a pretty slick setup! I wonder what would happen if you paired this with a schlumphf 2 speed BB? that would give you a 6 speed!
    I wonder if there are any technical reasons that pairing would not work?

  2. …the schlumpf transmission is not designed for backward pedaling… anyway… 6 speed fixed- seems to me like a big city on a small island…
