Blog post will reveal the finer details in a few days; just a little more waiting; unless of course you fancy a color in which case based on the T50; I'd say act fast.

Seat extension. It said it came with a seat extension.Anyone know what the semicircular part below the seat might be? Out-of-scale frame plug maybe? Seat adjuster?

I tried one of those. You know what/ They don't really work.Perhaps you could get by with one of these?

Probably just photoshopped out for that pic due to something in the background they didn't want to show.
The 360 view shows two eyelets (one on either side) on the rear main-tube. I wonder if that is simply a pre-production thing or...? I imagine that some braking systems may need a cable exit on that side. Too bad there aren't two 'entry-eyelets'...that might mean something very different.

The Q-series front suspension went away starting with the Quest 3.0 about three years ago. I never realized how much the front end on my Q451 2.0 pogoed under hard efforts until I stiffened up the back end with the air shock.
Changing those clamps not to require the external bearing cups has been rumored for a while. IIRC, there'll be a retrofit for recent S and V models. I can't find the thread to back that up, though.

The cable run for rim brakes would be much shorter. For disks you could probably zip tie the housing to one of the stays.

So do we know the wheelbase yet? Has it grown compared to S30, does ot now match the V? I like the suspension on my 2.0, particularly the rear does a lot for long distance comfort.

Interesting, Cruzbike basically implemented the improvements that I'd wished for when I wrote this thread here : http://www.recumbents.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6837 (I wanted a seat that was less inclined, and a longer wheelbase.)

You all need to go back and look closer at the photo from the wind tunnel article
It was even more obvious if you knew what to look for on a particular facebook photo from the A2 sessions.
So, what else did we miss? Inquiring minds need to knowYou all need to go back and look closer at the photo from the wind tunnel article
I've got a new crank all picked out for the V20 but first I need the new chainstay. Gotta make "spare parts" for the T50 frame.

I saw that one, but wasn't sure if it'd be productive to make noise about it.
Glad to know that it ended up being something that made it to production! It is going to make a lot of people happier, and likely (thanks to a lack of squishing of bearings) faster...

I recently got a short chainstay from Cruzbike for a new S30 build. It has the new chainstay clamps. They are inside the BB cups, but they also just as importantly are split clamps that make it easier to remove without messing with the BB cups at all. Very nice. I figured that was one of the improvements Ratz hinted at earlier.

Has the BB type changed to a 30 mm crank BB386 EVO, with a 56 mm OD BB shell 87 mm wide, and press fit bearings 42*30*7 6806-2rs, with a 2 mm thick nylon sleeve and the bearing outer face at 87 mm???
