Newer products are offered all the time .. the mountain bike Hydraulics from companies like Magura And Hope are pretty unlikely to show up on US bikes
Because the companies source bikes made in Asia.. which both brands mentioned , are .. then the parts fitted will also be from there ..
Of recent Intrest the new TRP products a Hydraulic/Cable hybrid HyRd, and double action mechanicals Spyre and Spyke.
The "worth-It" Thing is for you and your wallet to decide ..
Ive been quite happy with the Rim Braked Bike I've owned over the decades , Cantilever and side pull ..
and that includes a German Magura Hydraulic Rim brake , now in their 20th year of production.
I bought a Bike Friday It came with a Disc dyno-hub and a disc IGH in it's front and rear wheels ..
