I got the information from Taipei bike show.
New travel adjustment system called "2-step Air". It works like Marz ETA. You turn the knob and push down the fork. The fork reduces 45mm travel.
They introduced a new damping system called "Mission control" which has low/high speed compression, lockout, floodgate adjustments. The damper looks like a metal version of Motion control damper with shimmed compression circuit.
The new damping system can be found on 2 new fork series.
Totem designed for freeride, 40mm stanchion, 180 or 135-180 travel, Mission control, Maxle.
Lyrik designed for AM, 35mm stanchion, 160 or 160-135 travel, Mission control, Maxle.
There are another 2 cheaper series.
Argyle designed for dirt jump, 32mm stanchion, 100mm travel, Motion control, Maxle.
Domain designed for freeride，35mm stanchion, 180 or 115-160 travel, Motion control with integrated speed stack(shimmed rebound??), Maxle, Coil version only.
Other series almost left unchanged. Yes, Sid is still alive.
But, sorry, no picture. They don't allow taking pictures on these new models.

For avid, there would be 2 new models. 4-piston Code for DH and FR. The juicy ultima with one piece caliper is designed to challenge magura Marta series.

For all those considing buying X.0 shifers in the near future, wait for the new X.9 shifters. The X.0 technology is push down to 2007 X.9. The new shifers would have alomst all the features of X.0, except for the pushing level position adjustment and the carbon decoration. The old X.9 shifters is labeled as 07 X.7.
