"The new cartridge is supposed to provide smoother action, require 75% less lever force, and need much less breakaway force to initiate."

Both things I don't think have ever crossed my mind when using a dropper

I can actually see that making a diff in a marathon XC race. I am pretty anti electronic gears as well but after the 12hr relay thing I did last year my thumb was too tired to push the shifter through for the upshift comfortably. So have now added the asterisk to my NOBODY REALLY NEEDS THIS "* unless you do marathon XC"

I'm seriously thinking about adding Di2 or even spits SRAM electronic to my MTBs for this reason.

I don't know how long a Marathon XC event is but I ride long enough for my thumb to hurt more than my legs.
