SLX isn't new it's being revived. Back in the '90s SLX was the 3rd best MTB group behind XT and LX. I believe that's what it will be marketed as again.

Having seen clay mockups of SLX as well as some operational stuff, I can tell you that it will be lighter than LX and operationally very close to XT. Would I consider SLX to be on a par with XT? No. SLX will be replacing LX on the MTB side and LX used as a trekking group.
