Besides slight finish and color differences, the main differences between the Superfly uses an SRAM X.9 shifter instead of an X.0, and that instead of entirely Bontrager X Lite components, the Superfly uses Rhythm Elite and Race Lite components in the handlebars and seat. The Superfly has chromium rails on the saddle instead of the titanium rails the Superfly Elite has. Like the Elite, the Superfly will first be available for purchase in winter 2010, and is targeted towards very serious mountain bikers with a slightly more limited budget who still need the top-of-the-line bike.
