I doubt it. They seem to be pretty big believers in using a nitrogen charge. Besides, that looks like one of their current offerings only with the cap off? Maybe it just got a new nitrogen charge or is about to. Just my guess, I could be wrong.
It is indeed a new version of our shock. This design is intended to prevent people from messing with the Schraeder valve and also to further reduce the weight. This new cap design also uses a new type of valve that is rated to withstand a higher pressure. It also prevents unauthorized servicing by unqualified people as a special tool is needed to recharge the shock, which is only available to authorized service centers.
I know a lot of people want products that are user-serviceable, but unfortunately our shock is not one of those although it requires servicing much less often.
