If we are just seeing it now, will it be announced at sea otter or is it another year away?

I’m probably not in the market, but I am curious what the price delta will be to mechanical.

I would be more concerned with what they use to shift it.
Hopefully it uses buttons like the blips.

I traced that photo by Google, it has taken me to a Czech forum, in the, they say that I parce them at least in the image of the buttons. logos may be added by Photoshop.........
Anyway, whether it's a real mount or not, the upper pulley, she's too retarded about a Red eTap and Eagle rear derailleur

That "shifter" sure looks like a Specialized Levo handlebar remote with Eagle logo Photoshopped on.

The Levo remote is for adjusting modes on the e-bike; works well for that, but the placement of the buttons would not be the best ergonomicly for the constant shifts made while mountain biking.

I'll be happy to be proven wrote, but they "Eagle Shifter" and the Levo remote look identical.

Great! I assume you’ll be able to hack this to run 10 speed as it’s just telling the motor how far to move, or perhaps the shifter/RD might have a 10 or 11 switch (fingers crossed)

Sram is now 12 speed for their Eagle groups so it would be very unlikley for there to be any 10 speed option as that's now 2 generations old.
