They sound hot, but QR 20mm axle system? Haven't they learnt that it's not as great as marketing would like us to think. And as for 8" SC's... I'll reserve my judgement until they last a season or two.
I would love to have a good look at their new SPV-based damping, it has great potential due to its speed+position sensitivity, as long as they tune out the platform.

I particularly like this bit :D
theyd wanna have got rid of the platform with the SPV but judging by the fact they ditched the xworks dorado my guess would be they will have at least come close, should be interesting
edit: unless you can undo allen key bolts with your fingers im guessing the production forks still gonna look slightly different, and whats with the white and black? could look ok with a zebra print seat white syncros rims a black frame white cranks and bars i guess... that is if you want a zebra bike :p
