Flight attendant. The two button remote can be used to control the suspension. It's possible the new stuff will only come in two button option.

Yes, the obvious plan will be for the left remote to be suspension control and dropper post. Right remote shifting as always.

But with the app you can set any of the buttons to do any action you want.

I'd been hoping that there'd be some backwards compatibility/upgrade kit for the Pro4. A narrower axle, larger bearings, different seal, and different end caps don't bode well for that.

Could it be a BMC style up and down dropper?

If I recall Sam Hill was (secretly) running a Luftkappe in his Lyrik back in '18? Was one of the reasons Rockshox started messing with larger negative chambers in their air springs. They went a little too big and were having the forks eating 5-10mm of travel at rest. Then they brought out the next air spring to 'raise the ride height' which made it harsher off the top. Then finally they have the most Vorsprung-ish negative chamber in their newest gen of forks. So I guess you could say we have Vorsprung's pressure to partially thank for the excellent Rockshox forks that are currently in the market.

Somewhere I saw parts of the patent documentation for these brakes. And at the same time information that other companies are also working on similar solutions.
This design is supposed to work better with the wires going into the frame headstock or even in the handlebar itself, and at the same time are supposed to be less likely to be damaged in an accident.  
That's how it was in our national bicycle magazine.

From 5:58 of VanCan's video, you can see Dale's bike side-on and I think those pink patches are just some sort of frame protection.  Bike looks normal, and logo isn't fully covered on downtube. https://youtu.be/RyuMqSIsdKY?t=358

Maybe yall are more eagle-eyed than I am

3D printed parts for design validation before they build tooling for the forged aluminum pieces.

It's not a new Sight, he's covering the Norco logos for a totally different reason.

I thought the same thing. Horrible surfacing. I hope they hire an alias modeller before they tool up.
