Well normally if you see new Shimano kit at the start of the season you are pretty much garunteed to see it released by the end of the season if the trials go well.
Shimano a trialing the new 11 speed system at current UCI races and was successfully used by SKY riders in recent events.
Not only that but they are moving away from the tradition 3 pivot brake cantilever.
Also images I have seen of the new rear derailiuer suggest that it will use the same shadow system as the XTR and also a slimmer profile to the brake-shifter units. (not shown in this image)
Finally if rumours im hearing inside the industry are true Shimano will be re-release the carbon cranks that they did a limited run on back in 2010-11. This time they will be a lot stiffer than the original trial run and just as light as the current DA spider.
