Word is to keep an eye out for next spring or later. Supposedly a range of small 4CUs. Where'd you find the picture? |

Info here after the new helmet. |
|
looks just like the metolious cams but with a wire instead of cord. Edit: just read about the double axle. |
|
Very nice! |
|
Looks like they're calling it the "Camalot X4". |
|
I hope they make offsets......these look awesome |
|
Guess I'll be buying some more Chinese made Cams! |
|
time to start saving some cash for spring goodies |
|
I talked to a BD rep at TEVA mountain games about these. They are called the predators, and apparently they're badass. |
|
that is one sexy cam. |
|
Hoping they won't be $70+ when they come out. |

Interesting that the blurb mentions expansion range, but it looks to be single axle. The springs are coil springs and not flat like the aliens which means that gap in the lobe for the spring looks huge, wonder how that affects strength. I'm also curious as to how those trigger wires attach to the part that slides on the stem.. |

Looks like a Master Cam to me....Yeah....yeah I will.... :P I still want to try out some of the totem basics but the fixie alien I have is tits. |

curious as to what the material going from the trigger to the trigger wires is... |
