Its connected to a system weight of rider+bicycle. 

I have literally sheared off a shimano saint rear mech on rocks that happened to be in the right place at the right time.

and thats a baby compared to the monsters bolted to bikes today. It sheared the hanger off and bent the ‘link’ on the mech, but easy fix with a new goat/roadlink. It looked ratty AF after that but bolted it back on and worked fine. 

id like to think im special, but really im not lol.

 

But you are "special"

You two uncles must stop using dial up internet when viewing the articles.

@WIPEOUT 1000 I have done many a thousand KM over a good many years, and not once bent a rear der. Broken a frame or two, but never damaged a hanger.

Shimano better pick up their game, or else they will be left just shifting gears on basic commuter and roadie bikes

Your bikes dont use rear mechs? And the one that does you havent ridden in years by your own admission haha (YT)

Does not negate the many years, and many hours of irresponsible shifting on my MTB's pre covid.

The only mass the derailleur will feel is its own weight plus a length of the chain Since it articulates. The system momentum won’t apply.

a Saint rear derailleur protruded a lot further than our foot. I broke one off my Gemini before I fitted a SRAM X7 hearing system as replacement. Those old derailleur designs used a lot of real estate 

this new design tucks in very nicely even in the 10t sprocket it’s still protected by your foot. This type of impact is really very unlikely to happen without getting your foot involved

And given that @MORNE  is 12ft10inches tall, he must wear a size 15 shoe ... so there should be ample clearance.

Yes waterskis do act as very good bash guards

[NeverNotRolling]

What's the problem with a traditional derailer anyway?

Wake me up when we have AXS auto tyre deflation and inflation 🥱

Enough to kill time

The only good thing I saw was the new cassette finally something with better jumps still bigger than Shimano. 8t jump compared to 6t on shimano but better than the 10t jump of current.

And the new XO crank looks interesting. 

Not like any of these would be in the average persons budget so ja it looks interesting and that's about it ...

I’ll rather ride SS than pay for this.

This is very streamlined and tucked away nicely. Maybe it will stay out of harms way.
But the last time I broke a derailleur I felt the rock hit the underside of my foot, and take the derailleur out on the way back. This fancy one would not have made it. 
It seems that SRAM and frame makers have decided it’s better to have the rider’s wallet be the sacrificial item.
