That the pedals will kick back quite a bit on a decent sized hit?

not that great tbh - good suspension shouldn't pop back up.

but but its a High Pivot "Our frame takes all the advantages of high pivot point bikes without the disadvantage of a very high anti rise. Unlike typical HPP bikes, our VHP system conserves the geometry and offers enough traction under rear braking. Further, it provides massive support under pedaling without the downside of pedal kickback. The so-called Anti Squat is even fine-tuned trough out gears and travel. "

I’ve had a couple of drinks so maybe I I’m getting this wrong...is that a semi high pivot Horst link with idler and a fair bit of pedal kickback?  So bad design?

Edit: Bruneep has covered what I was thinking.  They’ve incorporated the worst of everything
