It's been long enough since the CX50 and CX70 groups. Those had cantis!

The brake-dropper lever (bripper?) and the hydraulic interrupter are really clever. The chain line is for 135QR/142TA, which makes sense in context. I'm kind of surprised they didn't take this opportunity to do 1x12 and the new freehub like XTR, but I suppose that needs to percolate through DA first.

Speculations about performance aside, I really like the styling. Shimano does a great job. The crank is like a classier version of the old Race Face cranks.
