Question answered - I reckon it's the change in EWS racing over the last few years. A few years back the courses were much less "DH course on little bikes" and much more pedally. Now riders need all the grip they can get and rolling speed is not the deciding factor. I think that's why development has stagnated/plateaued. I might try an SE2 on the back of my bike once my Xr4 bites the dust.
