i like how they are trying to sell their own version of Hyperglide plus, but boatload more expensive, electronic, and will undoubtedly will question the integrity of weight weenie frames in a crash.... While Deore 12 speed cassette/derailleur, an XTR chain, a derailleur hanger, and a XT shifter will do the same shifting seamlessly under load at a much less cost without the electronics at a lot less....
Also, if you crash on a T-Type drivetrain equipped on say, a Pivot, S-Works, Factor, or Scott mountain bike, in a minor crash (where a UDH derailleur hanger would have cracked/snapped/bent) that resulted in rear drive side dropout has cracking - while the t-type derailleur stayed intact - whom do I warranty the frame with, SRAM or the frame manufacturer?
