Don't necessarily hate on the Superboost on this bike - they combine a Superboost rear end with a Boost BB spindle to achieve a better chainline for the climbing gears. And yes - it's noticeable.
Apparently, this leads to more friction losses in the smaller cogs - but who cares. This isn't an XC bike, and any rider on this bike is going to spend the vast majority of their pedaling input in the biggest cogs anyway.
What WAO have done with the chainline on this bike is kinda brilliant.
