Woh. It's been a number of years since I've been truly impressed with meaningful new MTB tech. This looks like a big one (akin to geometry improvements, suspension advancements and dropper posts! oh and Ebikes for the $$$ win.) For a few years running now, we've only seen incremental advancement (or reversion in some cases) in MTB tech, after the bigger gains we experienced for more than a decade prior.
You know how your car's steering wheel likes to return to center? This tech appears to offer that same feeling, plus a lot more - steering feedback! When I can get this feature in the type of bikes I want to ride, I'm in.
I have not researched yet, but based on only the video title, it seem like Canyon may be bringing this to market. (?) If so, two things that seem like easy big wins for them: (1) license the tech so that all bike manufacturers can pay to incorporate it, and (2) make it retrofittable to our current bikes.
If it works the way it should, every manufacturer could buy the licensing for this. Easy money!
Yeah, it will raise pricing (again), but half of you fockers already paid for batteries.
Wouldn't you pay a bit extra for this?Hi DirtTreaders!
