Most of them will be drop in Replacements, Currently we are planning to have toughbox and the first two stages of supershifter gear replacements and then some other ratios that I think many teams will be pleased with.

I'll put more details up the pricing/site/pinions in the following weeks.

Sean is correct.

We are experimenting with a few different coatings. There will be more information in the following weeks. 1323 was also pretty happy with the gears and loved the weight savings.
