I think it looks pretty rad, pretty sweet range of gears.

I like what they are thinking
The idea of dumping the front derailleur and the fact that there is some thought going into chain retention on the front chainring is interesting to me.
We'll see where it goes.

This looks very interesting. Shame about the proprietary freehub though.. I find front derailleurs to be obnoxious, and anything that widens the gear range without one is a step in the right direction, imo.

You SS zealots are funny. Don't forget that some people like to ride places that have actual elevation changes

I've been running a 1X5 on a single speed King hub and like it.
