First Look: Ratio Technology's New Direct-Mount Mechanical Derailleur

Finally oversized pulleys to reduce cage length on the large cassettes. Increased clearance should reduce risk of damage a bit. It would be interesting to see how much the derailleur sticks out to the side too compared to T-type and others. Switchable pull ration making it compatible with shifters is also awesome. I like much of what Ratio have done here.

FSA's New High-End Crankset Skips the Carbon - Taipei Cycle Show 2019

The Lotus Elise aluminium chassis is also glued, and they stated that the glue was stronger than the aluminium. The bonds on this looks incredibly strong with all the area for adhesive. The design is very nice too.

Update: What's Going On With Shimano's New XTR Group?

Canyon is running Race Face Next SL G5 on their XTR equipped bikes. They don't have any delivery date though. Perhaps that could be a faster solution or a G4 crank with a compatible chainring?
