Review: Shimano XT 8220 Brakes - More Consistency, Same Value
Specifically 50mm+ Riser bars with SRAM Maven brakes are the issue. Even a small chop from 780s to 770 unless you run brakes flat or bar rolled fwd. Bar example is Raceface Era.
Mavens are the absolute king of brakes. I don't feel like they outpower Shimanos in a useful way, but their superpower is they don't fade.

Review: Shimano XT 8220 Brakes - More Consistency, Same Value
SRAM and Shimano designers,
These bar hugging designs look great but make cutting bars down a problem with the bar bulges hitting the brakes. While I'm at it, shimano shifters with SRAM brakes mounting really sucks. Can't we all get along?

Industry Veteran Hans Rey Calls for Clearer E-Bike Definitions in Open Letter to the Bicycle Industry
I agree with this. A number like 750w is a reasonable line and most motors are at/under that anyway (for now). Truly hope we see more innovation towards weight savings and system refinement than power. I hope the TQ bikes sell well -- the TQ60 is a very stealthy motor and at 350w continuous will still nearly triple your climbing speed.
