The first internal rotor we developed was the SD system (system Diatech). Bikes was sold with our patented rotor system in 2000-2003.
We had produced these & sold through Diatech / Dia Compe.
Companies such as ARES, MAGNA, Diamond Back, HONDA, Wheeler, KHEbikes, Titus, Kawasaki & Kuwahara had also built sample and production bikes.
From 2004 there was the offset version, where the lower part, which we called F-SET, was slimmer to better guide the cables to the side of the frame.
In 2005 we added industrial bearings to the F-SET system, which was specifically designed for professional riders and high-end bikes. (See 2005 Equilibrium bike)
Then we also had a version for MTB DJ bikes using the F-SET for 9-speed gears. For the rear brake we have developed a hydraulic rotor.
Hayes brakes had the sample bike on display at their booth in Las Vegas "Interbike".
