Not sure if this is true, but interesting all the same. A new standard as well for everyone to buy into!

Re:
Curious how they'll deal with different rotor sizes.
Unless they use those ugly adapters they're trying so hard to avoid, it looks like you'll need a different F+F if you want to change the size.

I wonder if they'll seek to standardise rotor sizes front and rear?
"A cleaner, integrated construction with the frame (no visible mounting bolts)"
Here we go. Another standard that presumably will make soot-plastic composite frames
and forks easier and cheaper, but will now charge a fortune for the new untested gubbins.
Will probably turn out to be a dreadfull bodge on skinny steel or Ti frames just like all these
oversized BB whatsits. Looks like it assumes a straight bladed fork too. The advantage of
IS mount is that you can't mess up the frame and fork by over-tightening or threading anything,
but that obviously doesn't figure any more in design.
