T-Type Transmission made its debut over a year ago appearing on SRAM's top tier XX, XX SL and XO drivetrains. This was followed up a few months later by Eagle Transmission at the more utilitarian GX level. The US mega-brand has now announced that the tech has trickled down to the lower-tier S-1000 version, but this latest T-Type level will only be available on production mountain bikes. Matching up with the new drivetrain system comes a new Stealth version of SRAM's wallet-friendly, mineral oil DB8 brakes too.

Color aside, the new S-1000 crankset looks fairly similar to the GX version and has removable bash guards (Image credit: SRAM)
