I don't get the forks, like at all. It just seems like pandering to those who refuse to ride anything but a drop bar bike. The flexible stems and even the goofy future shock on my Diverge seem like better options if you don't want an MTB. A good quality XC hardtail may be a better option instead.
I do see some value in the expanded drivetrain options, especially the cassette. The lack of a true XC cassette was a big hole in the Sram AXS line up. No mention of any improvements in the braking, hopefully they addressed that too.
The dropper has some value in the suspension aspect but at $600 for just the post(no activation switch included at that price) it seems expensive even though it's pricing is in line with the other reverb axs posts.
Agreed that it's a bunch of stuff I have little interest in.
