The Moulton stand at Cycle 2010 had a stunning stand, as usual, with some new innovations on show.

This New Series looks interesting. It is the first factory built Moulton to be fitted with a Rohloff Speedhub.
Unlike previous standard New Series models, it features the Flexitor/front fork design from the Double Pylon. The front forks run entirely outside the front flexitor assembly, rather than passing through it in the style of the older New Series models.
The flexitor pivot assemblies are redesigned featuring a narrower middle section on the two side tubes, rather like a double-butted spoke. It also doesn't appear to have a soft lock-out mechanism.
The New Series also features a threadless headset and a new variation of the Moulton Wishbone stem.

The demo model has wide Continental City Contact tyres. Up to now, the NS tyre clearances were too small for all but the skinniest of available tyres. Tyre clearance is helped by the use of longer reach dual pivot brakes, which may be a custom Moulton item.

There was of course the shiny belt-drive TSR-2 with 2 speed, Sturmey Archer S2C kickback hub.

And it was nice to see the beautiful original chrome S Deluxe, owned by Mike Woolf of Moulton Preservation on show.

Finally, a fully loaded TSR-30.

When you have a closer look you see that the Speedhub NS is ready for a belt drive.
