New Makita Brushless X2 Chainsaw MUC353 Spotted

The Instagram post contains very little information. I can only see a collage of photos of the new chainsaw. I can also see a figure of 350mm. This would be my educated guess as to the size of the bar or chain. Translated to inches, we are looking at 35 cm or 35 cm if we add up the dimensions of the bar/chain.

Currently Makita has an X2 chainsaw but its using a brushed motor and running a 30 cm bar and chain. So from what I can gather on the new brushless X2 Makita chainsaw, I would expect a slightly larger bar and chain of 35 cm inches by increasing the capacity toalmost5 cm versus the current brushed model, and I think its safe to believe we can expect a slight bump in performance with a possibility of increased runtime thanks to brushless motor technology.

Comparable To The Makita X2 XCU02Z Cordless Chainsaw

Because google translate cannot translate text embedded in pictures, there is nothing I can gather. I would assume the language is Japanese since Makita is based in Japan and my guess would be that this has been announced in that country. No information is available about the availability or timing of a North American release.
