There's always the chance I missed something more straightforward, but if you like wings with transport, including a rare (for me) XYZ transport, then you might like this one.

Code:

+-------+-------+-------+
| . . . | . . 9 | . . . |
| . 6 . | . 3 . | 1 7 . |
| 5 3 . | . 1 . | 2 . . |
+-------+-------+-------+
| 1 . . | 3 . . | . . . |
| . 7 . | 9 . . | . 2 3 |
| . 2 . | 8 5 . | . 4 . |
+-------+-------+-------+
| . 4 . | . 2 . | 9 3 . |
| . . 1 | . . 6 | . . . |
| . . 6 | . . 3 | 7 . . |
+-------+-------+-------+

XY-loop (bidirectional)

Code:
 XY-Wing, XYZ-Wing, 2-String Kite, and this 4-cell XY-Chain
 +---------------------------------------------------------------+
 |  48    1    *27    |  567-2 *78    9     |  3     56    45    |

 |  1     58    4     |  3      6     2     |  58    9     7     |

 |  9     2     3     |  8      5     7     |  6     4     1     |

I'm always impressed with how many ways a 4-cell XY-Chain can be viewed. Here's one of my favorite perspectives.

Strong link on (8) in [b2] between bivalue cells forces [r1c5]=7 or [r2c6]=5. Trivial forcing net follows.

Code:
 [r1c5]=7 [r1c3]<>7 [r1c3]=2  =>  [r1c4],[r2c3]<>2
 [r2c6]=5 [r2c4]<>5 [r2c4]=2  =>  [r1c4],[r2c3]<>2
