but it's not like this technology hasn't existed for decades on motorcycles. It's revolutionary!The industry gets to sell you old ideas, rebadged as NEW tech, and sell it for a year or two, until something else comes along. Think RS1 forks....
Godamnnnn that is hot!!!I think they still have merit if spare parts remain available. There's a squillion weird cassette/derailleur combos people like to muck around with - maybe not as much in straight-up MTB, but gravel is a world of subtle nuances.
I like the idea than you could buy one premium derailleur that will (should) last yonks and be adaptable across different gearing combinations, but be able to pair it with some cheap but long-lasting 10sp or 11sp bits for example to keep the ongoing consumables cost (way) down compared to 12sp for example.
But personally, if function is even vaguely similar I'd be easily won over by the CNC bling of the Madrone 'Jab' derailleurs.
I mean, unnnnnf... (especially compared to the AliEx appearance of the Ratio Mech)

Form an orderly queue behind me for whatever gets discarded from @Wake Jake 's fleet of forks.
Well it keeps the oil on you seals, so they don't dry out. So there's that. And if your seals wear out, the oil leak will be obvious.For those of us who are mechanically inept; what the advantages of an upside down fork?
They keep your rotors well lubricated. Got it!Well it keeps the oil on you seals, so they don't dry out. So there's that. And if your seals wear out, the oil leak will be obvious.![]()

And still the best.They are basically still the same.
