Diamondback, I think.
Edit - Indeed they do, but according to their web site they don't seem to make the one that had Revelations up front that I was thinking of, anymore.

Why not? The suspension action will be simlar unless the linkage has radically changed how the shock is driven (and it appears to do so rarely!)

GT iDrive? it is a sort of single pivot.
Foes
Nicolai?

Sinister do one - the Gruitr

Cynic-al - because the linkage may radically change how the shock is driven

So in that case, neither the I-Drive nor the Maverick.

The idrive is single pivot as the extra bit only effects the bb. the shock is driven directly from the swing arm.

Tesco's full sussers

Even if the linkage doesn't do much to the suspension rate (most don't but some do IME) it'll still affect the stiffness of the frame

Deary me....

We're basically looking for bikes that have minimal pivots/bushes/bearings to go in our upcoming "Filth Riding"-themed issue.

I think Mondraker do one. A sort of budget freerad type thing. Aren't the Exprezo bikes single pivot too? I s'pose you should know seeing as you've just tested their Gamjam.
Are you after a particular niche/travel cos we've got 4 inches to 8 inches being touted around in this thread?

The Cannondale Rush and Prophet have to be in with a shout, single pivot and loads of mud clearence.
Only 2 bearings and 4 shock bushings to worry about.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Does it have to be current bikes?
The Rush and the Prophet have been de-listeded from the Cannondale USA website.

The Nicolai Helius is a FSR frame.
How about a Raligh Activator 2? Only had one pivot point just behind the BB if I remember correctly.
Saracen must do something.
The Prophet isnt made anymore.

It may do, yes.

Well if you'd said that at the start then I wouldn't have had to have pwned you would I?

i love posting links to their Big Hit SPEC bikes as all spesh owners have some kind of fetish lust thing about four-bars
sadly i think they last made them in 05, but never imported them here, saw quite a few in Norway when i was out therePosted 2 years ago # -
Although a current theme breaker, consider throwing in some frames that have one way purging pivots/bearings ie Turner, Santa Cruz.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Nicolai Nonius is the one you're thinking of.
