New *hydraulic* Rohloff shifter

[Danneaux]

Hi All!

psh'R, a fabricator based in Bern, Switzerland, has just announced a new hydraulic Rohloff shifter "coming soon". It consists of either brifters (drop-handlebar road bikes) or thumbshifters (everything else) and a new EX (external) shift-box common to both.

The MTB shifter is housed in a single unit, so pushing the lever differently shifts up or down. Brake levers are separate from the shifter and can be user's choice -- hydraulic or Bowden cable. Unit can be mounted on right or left side of handlebars.

The road brifters levers are compatible with hydraulic brakes as well as shifting the Rohloff hydraulically through a thumb shifter mounted on the inside of the brake hood. One side controls upshifts, the other downshifts; lines can be reversed according to preference.

Interesting developments.

Best,

Dan.
