Bicycle Design | Shimano Alfine
It's based on Shimano's existing Nexus line, upgraded to promote very quick shifts. Instead of a twist group, it includes trigger shifting.
The group took one of Shimano's two design awards at last week's Eurobike trade show (the other went for the 3rd-generation XTR mountain bike group). This should be a terrific and reliable group for bikes intended for everyday transportation.

Add that to my lists of things to see at Interbike!
