The video is a complete waste of 6 minutes of your life but @10 seconds in there's a glimpse of a brake lever that looks suspiciously hope-esque .The machining/compression fittings,reach adjuster look familiar but it has a radial master cylinder.

I thought he was now a Shimano Saint brake user/endorser? Could be a prototype Shimano lever. He's definitely using Shimano discs.

There was a video a couple of months ago with him extolling the virtues of the Saint brakes, front and back, but there's definitely a rim brake in that video. Maybe Shimano are doing a rim brake for him?
