SRAM Patent Indicates a Future With Thru-Headtube Mounted Stems For a Lower Bar Height
Better option would be mount it above and below head tube, with the lower mounting acting as a replacement crown race. It could work without changes to the fork or frame/headtube.

They have been working on this for at least 3-4 years. It will be nice if they finally release it. The flow evo was never released, sadly.
Should Have used a flat mount caliper to save a little more weight.
If the weight includes the hub (doubtful) then It is impressive. That said the 2021-22 Sid race day ultimate SL is 1285g with an extralite axle swap, though 110mm only I think. Also Intend doesn’t sell the CC version of the samurai anymore, though their claimed weight is accurate.

Combining Parts From Vivo, SRAM, & Shimano to Create the Ultimate Mechanical Drivetrain
Xx1 11-speed FTW. 244g derailleur, 260g
Cassette; works perfectly with a 12-speed eagle Xx1 chain, and decently inexpensive pricing.

I’ve been riding mine this summer. Always starts a few conversations for sure. I am still acclimating to it but it’s a great platform with a lot of upsides. The only downside so far is weight (27.4lbs as built. First-world problems, yeah)

it’s too bad they never made it in 27.5.
