You've probably seen this already? One-sided fork and seat-stay on a Canyon look-alike

Too bad the guy pictured doesn't have a bike fit that that bike is worthy of...

It's a Canyon look-alike because Canyon licensed the front end from Rafael :)

I think they produced the front end of Jan Frodeno's current Canyon. I also think they came up with the front bottle system he was using before his current bike which is very similar to the one canyon have now. so I wouldn't be surprised if they were involved in some way with the design of the current Speedmax slx.

So, this bike is being ridden outdoors, according to those photos at the bottom of the page. Any details on that braking system?

I'm very intrigued. Would the one-sided nature of the front fork and rear stays have a noticeable aero effect?

I've been in love with this bike since it was first created some years back. But I am not sure they ever really made production version.

I do recall the brakes being an internal hydraulic drum brake within the hub, utilizing Magura hydro levers.

There's a statement on the front page that they are producing a very limited run.... to be delivered in 2016, so outdated. But, the photos are a working model. those photos were new to me. I had assumed it was merely a tradeshow prototype.
