The claw posted a clear photo of his new bike. Looks like a mid-pivot version of the previous gen Altitude.

It looks like the old GX AXS. Maybe a few tweaks, but it really doesn't seem like a lot of this is new (save shifters to get the style of 70/90). The simplifying legacy stuff does make sense, though. But, I also agree that it is sad they won't make nicer shifters than 90 for S200 for mechanical.

I'm equal parts bummed and intrigued by the new/revamped eagle lineup. On one hand, SX/NX can die in a fire, and their death is just as exciting to me as new product is in certain ways. On the other, X01 eagle was probably the best all around drivetrain as a package over any other I've ever used. Each component of that drivetrain was stellar; cassette, chain, derailleur and shifter.

If the XX1 chains go away, this is super bad news. I assume S200 will be at the shitty GX level, if that. Edit: looks like there is still the S500 chain that replaces the old XX1. The S200 chain is crap, as is SRAM's replacement matrix.

You know aside from the carbon, the shock layout, the yoke, the tube diameter, the paint work, the branding, the build, it's pretty much a knolly.
