    If a man was standing in a forest, and no woman was around to hear him, would he still be wrong?

    Cant see from the pic. Is it a single pivot rear triangle? If so, it seems to me that they could have gotten the same leverage curves etc with less pivots.
    Dirt, its whats for dinner!!

    I try to convey what you strive to condone...

    the only thing missing are the 2.5" slicks and spinners on the wheels.

    Where do you see that number. The site says 17.6?

    It also has an un-interrupted seat tube. Handy if you like freeriding.
    That's the reason for the extra links.

    It has two more pivots than a short link 4-bar ala dw/vpp using which you can get any brake response/shock leverage ratio you want.

    As I understand it, it was done to get around the FSR patent, though he might have done it just for a bit extra seat tube, seems a bit over the top.
