Moulton Buzz reports:

The new version of the widely acclaimed 14 speed internally geared hub will have a number of changes over the current version:

• It still has 14 gears with even steps all the way, but the overall ratio increases from 526% to 580%
• The hub shell will be about 20% smaller. Useful for building into small wheels
• The weight will be about 1400g, compared with 1700g of the current version
• It will not be suitable for use in tandems or other “hard core” uses.
• A new shifter will be available, though it’s not clear whether this will be an STI/Ergo style shifter for use with drop bars.

The first prototype will be shown at Eurobike 2008.
