CeramicSpeed will unveil its latest oversized pulley wheel system, OSPW X, for Shimano derailleurs at this week’s Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, California.
This will be the first chance for customers to see the entire OSPW X range. The new OSPW X for Shimano RX800/805 is the result of product development that focuses on improving the riding experience for off-road cyclists.
The new OSPW X is compatible with Shimano RD-RX800 mechanical and Shimano RD-RX805 Di2 derailleurs and fits cassettes up to 36-tooth (11-36t range), making it “the perfect choice for both road and cross/gravel”. The latest release also features the company’s custom-designed carbon-reinforced polyamide pulley cage assembly.
Designed, developed and handbuilt in Denmark, with CeramicSpeed bearings inside, the OSPW X Series comes with a warranty of up to six years and gives a three to five times longer lifetime over a conventional pulley wheel system, the brand has said.
CeramicSpeed’s executive vice president Martin Banke said: “This product introduction is a fantastic step for us. An oversized pulley wheel system designed to suit road, cyclocross and gravel conditions is the first step of many as we bring our knowledge and expertise to the off-road segment. Our experienced team will be on-hand at Sea Otter to introduce the entire X Series range which we hope will excite the off-road community as much as it does our entire team!”
CeramicSpeed will be on stand M37.
