Can you explain yourself a little bit more?

In stead of a sqaure taper, this is a six tapered version...

I think olly wants reviews, not just a description.
Apparently the SixPack (hex taper) is superior to the tune JIS square taper bb re: stiffness and strength. It is only compatible with the Fastfoot crankarms though. Which also are apparently a bit stronger/stiffer than the square taper Bigfoot cranks.
The Sixpack/Fastfoot set-up is Euro 398, plus shipping. With TA rings is about Euro 540. :shock:

Nice, bur Euro 479 just for the crankarms...so that whole bb/arms/rings setup costs more than 800 Euro. :roll:

Thank you Cadence90. I should use the BB Tune Sixpack Ti with the Race Face Turbine cranks. I suppose it is possible, isn't it?

Spytech, the Stork Power arms are beautiful, but I need to do a bank robbery to get them!!

No, it's not possible:
Sixpack is another standard, not compatible with isis or square taped. I think that only tune and storck use it.
Go with the new tune bigfoot (called fastfoot) who accept the sixpack
