Was looking at the photos earlier. That downtube is huuge and looks like they have tweaked the idler design. Interested to see more details on travel, geo etc.

From those photos it looks like it shares absolutely nothing with its littler brethren. I hope it has a suitably awesome name that implies hugery and ability to f*** shit up.

Dragonfly? Like it's small by our standards, but in insect world it's basically a B-52.
