    will it be ‘Zed’ in the British market?
    Is this the new SLX, that was the new Hone. which is basically just Deore in a different colour?

    yup the zee cranks look just like deores to me, the same way hones were just lx cranks painted black

    Zee looks like value Saint to me, although I like those brakes.

    Nice to see them introducing a new flat pedal. I’ve always loved my DX30’s but they are a bit old school in terms of size/thickness nowadays (I just replaced mine with some Vaults).

    I was thinking exactly the same thing. Glad to see they’ve removed the reflector plates too.

    “hones were just lx cranks painted black “
    They weren’t
    though largely the same, hone had a steel axle (maybe stiffer?) and pedal thread inserts which the lighter LX did not
    IIRC SLX double/bash (~1000g) similarly has steel pedal thread inserts and steel axle, whereas SLX triple cranksets do not (889g?)

    Do I see a wee shadow plus lever? If I’ve got the ranges right, all the XC ones will only come in medium and long so I guess Saint/Zee will be the only shortcages with it…

    Bugger, I thought that was for xtr di2. Not that I could afford it, but it would be quite cool.

    Brakes look monstrous

    They weren’t

    Some were, they came in both LX-painted-black and with-steel-thread-insert-and-axle flavours.

    That Saint rotor 😯

    Sticky-outy aluminium mid layer by the look of it?

    Zee is a bit of a crap name but the brakes and gears look good for me.
