• Kind of.

    Flat mount advantage is that the rear triangle doesn’t need to be re-designed and can be adjusted under the chainstay instead of awkwardly inside both chainstay and seat stay.

    Flat mount perfect for road. Post mount for MTB/hybrid.

  • The irony of which a new design and that the rear triangle doesn't have to be redesigned... ;)

    Put it this way, there was no need for a new standard. It's a marketing ploy to get more sales...
