Tapered head tube and new seat clamp design (as seen in the pic).

So does it require a special headset and fork with tapered steerer tube ?

Yup. Leader's new forks will be tapered and it will need this headset or something having similar specs.

The 725, yes. The 721 is gone for 2015.

How so? There are tons of forks with tapered steerers on the market and more to come in 2015.

Even if there is some sort of lower headset bearing adapter to permit this, the fork crown would be way too small and it would look totally goofy.

noticed the early Preorder thing on leader's website. Only see 735 and 725, I hope it doesn't mean they discontinued the 722 Heritage as well. I've been trying to google any leaked pics and no dice.

The Heritage will stay and I'm pretty sure it's already available in Japan (I recently saw a pic of a gold one built up by Brotures Leader's Facebook page).
However, the 721 is gone from the 2015 lineup.
