I just saw that too. I know this wasn't the point of your posting, but I've never figured out why so many people on this board think these large cogs are so ridiculous. I completely understand the goal of eliminating a front derailleur and, in my opinion, this is just now finally... and just barely... getting to the point where a 1x drivetrain could be feasible and realistic. Admittedly, it really only works for mountainous trail riding, even then. I'm assuming you'd use a single front ring around 30 or 32 teeth, to still have a decent granny gear, so you wouldn't have the tall gears needed for road riding, and the steps between the middle cogs would probably be too big too.
You just have to think outside of the road bike and flattish, paved areas, to the places where I live and ride. The things that I think funny are 2x drivetrains. If you're going to need a derailleur and shifter anyway, you might as well add that third ring and give yourself all the range you can use.
