*Three* Deore derailleurs with *four* model numbers: M6200 = 12spd + clutch (which you'll recognize as the outgoing M6100) M6320 = 11spd, no clutch M7200 = 12spd, no clutch Thank goodness they simplified things by getting rid of SLX.

This. I'm not a superboost fan but if there's a place for it it's here. Maybe with 20x110 front axles to keep those long fork legs pointing in roughly the same direction.

Weird, as a v2 owner that doesn't sound at all like the Hugene I know. It almost sounds like the shock tune was off somehow. That said, I'd been curious if they just put a travel reducer in the shock (210x47.5 from 210x50) from and kept the suspension unchanged for v3 but maybe they did something else to break the spell that made v2 so good.

@cynicalchris: Lighter, mostly, but also special-er. Really depends on your shoes' sole:pedal interface. The previous-generation non-trail XTRs had a convex contact area which was never especially stable on softer rubber.

I always called those 'bobbed' pedals. Works with XT and XTR trail too.

Meet redfoxrun, AKA Jon, the Colorado-based mountain bike contrarian who has made it his personal mission to rehabilitate the most reviled name in hub standards: "Super Boost." Armed with engineering calculations and an almost evangelical fervor, this data-driven defender has penned multiple research-heavy blog posts defending the 157x12 rear hub standard against what he sees as Pivot's catastrophic marketing blunder of 2016. Aided by a keen ear and targeted keyword alerts that bring him swiftly to any Super Boost discussion, redfoxrun has documented hundreds of instances addressing "Super Boost" or "Superboost" across Pinkbike forums and comment threads. His weapon of choice? Cold, hard data that methodically dismantles six key misconceptions about 157mm hubs while arguing they create wheels that are 30.71% laterally stronger than their 148mm counterparts—crucial when 28% of riders broke wheels in 2024. What makes redfoxrun's advocacy particularly poignant is his position as a voice in the wilderness, acknowledging that compatibility concerns have won the day while championing what he believes is objectively the stronger technical solution. His latest gambit involves offering pro-bono consulting to Shimano, urging them to publish transparent white papers comparing wheel standards—because the industry needs him to serve as "the adult in the room." In an industry obsessed with consensus, redfoxrun represents something rare: a principled defender of an unpopular truth who shows up wherever "Super Boost" is mentioned, ready to correct the record with spoke tension mathematics. Whether he's tilting at windmills or standing on the right side of engineering history, only time—and spoke tension—will tell.
