Bike drivetrain design wins 2018 Eurobike Innovation Award

A senior design project for a new type of bicycle drivetrain is getting major attention in the cycling press. The project, developed with sponsor CeramicSpeed, does away with the traditional bicycle chain and gearbox in favor of a shaft drive assembly. The invention has earned a 2018 Eurobike Innovation Award.

The project is receiving worldwide attention after CeramicSpeed exhibited the technology at the Eurobike trade show, held July 8-10 in Friedrichshafen, Germany.
