"As for whether or not to expect a headset cup with a new Element purchase, hopefully I’ll have an answer for that by the time we get to the long-term review."
That **is** super odd. Yeah, hopefully you'll get an answer for that. Though it does point to a bit of an internal disconnect around geometry over there. Kind of like how the last Altitude came out as the new "enduro bike", but most (all?) of the enduro team put anglesets in. Allegedly only temporarily to "make it feel like the last bike" (Slayer?"), but pretty sure they stayed in all last season.
