as above, I can see how sat down, the wheel moves as if it had a pivot at the bb (like the concentric bb pivot on a kona A, DMR bolt etc.) This means you do indeed experience your pedals getting closer to the floor under compression of the rear shock as you do with other designs, and feeling as though the rear wheel is moving in order to ‘suspend’ the rest of the bike. (including the bb/pedals)
What I can’t understand is this: if there is a pivot between the seat and the bb, and no pivot between the bb and the rear axle, will the bike not behave completely differently when you are sat down or stood up? Surely it doesn’t matter about a clever axle path and virtual pivot point, if depending on whether you are stood up or sat down, the weight/force of the rider that is not held by the handlebar/front of the bike shifts between two completely different areas of the frame, which are either side of the shock and pivots.
I am sure there must be an explanation for this: you’d never get a bike this far through production otherwise, but the 2 second video of the vitrual pivot point doesn’t really explain why this will not ride much more like a URT than a ‘normally’ suspended bicycle. Hopefully they can give us a bit more science!
