Product news: In its latest video, Sram shows the German engineering art behind the products

23 January 2017 by Christian Ettl

Market/Sram: The component manufacturer Sram is a pioneer when it comes to shifting. In the mountain bike segment, so-called "one-by" drives with just one chain ring are indispensable.

In the latest video, Sram shows the development of the drives, the people behind them and the development site in Schweinfurt.



The people of Schweinfurt say:

The sport of mountain biking has its epicenters of excellence - places where the term "progress" really means something. the mountain bikeProduct development also has such hotspots. Few have a more interesting history and richer heritage than Schweinfurt, Germany.

From here, in the heart of Germany, the pioneers from Schweinfurt were responsible for the first precision ball bearing, the first ball bearing hub, the first freewheel and now SRAM Eagle ™, a SRAM 1x™ Drive that redefines the potential for mountain bike drives.



Here is the video:
