nope, das de sram torpedo fix/free naaf. link
dit is een versnellingsnaaf zonder vrijloop. dus een fixer maar dan met 3 vertragingen. Maar als je de geruchten mag geloven dan komt er dus idd een Sram naaf op de markt met een fixed/free meganisme a-la torpedo maar dan ook met 3 vertragingen (of je neemt een dualdrive, steekt hier een baankrans op en dan heb je volgens mij hetzelfde...)

Sturmey sets date for three-speed fixie – but will it be alone?
Sturmey Archer's S3X fixed-wheel three-speed hub will be available in January, Sturmey's US marketing manager told BikeRadar at Interbike today. Retail price for the hub is expected to be in the US$140-160 range.
The S3X will probably come with a multi-location shifter that can be used as a bar end or mounted on the down tube. Unfortunately, said Prosser, it's not possible to make it work with current brake/shift levers, so drop-in compatibility with, say, Shimano STI units, won't happen.
Prosser said that the final production version of the hub will be lighter than the current prototype. It's hard to see where you save weight in a hub gear as there's an unavoidable amount of metal needed in the internals, and it's not like possible buyers of a three-speed fixie hub can go buy someone else's lighter alternative.
Or can they? We haven't seen it yet, but SRAM apparently has a hub that can be switched between fixed-wheel and freewheel operation and is rumoured to be working on its own three-speed fixed hub.
Prosser explained some of the background to the S3X project, which was basically by a steady stream of inquiries to Sturmey from various places around the 'net (including, this writer, who stopped bothering Prosser about it when he told me that to resurrect the old ASC hub, Sturmey would need an order of 10,000 units.)
Various people, including the late great Sheldon Brown, helped gauge the level of interest, and Prosser hinted that if the S3X is successful, then Sturmey will consider widening the range with, for example, a closer-ratio version akin to the original ASC.
