Exactly, the devil is in the details. You can see the quality and how well thought out all the little details on transition frames are. My last Tr450 frame was running like brand new after almost 50 days in the bike park, and I have no doubt that this one will too, plus now it's lighter and the wheels are bigger.

Completely agree with Austen. Tried both long and short cage on Sram's guidance. Makes a fancy 10K bike ride and feel like a Walmart bike. Sram was also not to willing to buck up for it either. Went back to a standard XO with a C-Guide and no more "Klunk". Shimano has it right-

Yeah man, I owned an older saint, and there is no comparison the the performance of a clutch deraileur. chain slap is a thing of the past. It seems like sram and shimano have about equal spring tension now, if not more from the sram, but the shimano has been smoother and more consistent.

Misworded that, its mostly just a pain getting the cage to unlock. Maybe all of mine, and all of the ones I've worked on in the shop have been duds . It's not really a big deal putting a chain on or a wheel on without the lock, I just think it should actually work.

Iran these brakes on a cross-country race bike for five months this year and came away thoroughly impressed. I had been using previous-generation Shimano SLX brakes, but these brakes blew those older models out of the water. The reach adjust is simple and doesn't migrate or wiggle. The increase in stopping power was immediately evident. After a few rides I also noticed that the modulation was superb. I never locked up a wheel unless I was trying to. I wouldn't hesitate to run these brakes on a trail bike, or even on a gravity bike with some larger rotors...
