Just popped up on my feed;

Beautiful looking thing (although my taste has been called out here more than once!), not unlike a Yeti SB6 line-wise.
Carbon leaf spring?
They say linear but it seems like a progessive then regressive rate?
I'm no materials tech, will the leaf really take 3 million flex cycles with no degradation in performance?
At the low end of the bike, is it harms way?
I dunno. But I do know that words like Oxeon TeXtreme make me moist and that I'd like to ride it a lot!

Tell me it was the "congratulations" one. That would be deliciously ironic!
It will be worth it!

Yay!
That's taken Google photos and Imgur to be able to post a ****ing picture. ****ing Photobucket. Grrrrr!
There was an interview with Spot chaps on Mountain Bike Radio last month that was quite interesting

I wonder if a GIF works?

Nope.
Well that was worth it bbs! 😆
There must be some large forces trying to rotate the bracket where it attaches to the seat tube yet it's held in place by a single bolt?

There's a better view on the other frame they have with the same system although it attaches to the rear triangle differently.

Very interesting!
External threaded BB as well.
Complete bike prices don't look too bad (well clearly they are but not in comparison with a lot of other boutique brand top end builds).
I'd be interested to have a ride on one.
And also in what the long term outlook is for a lower pivot like that.
Nothing to see. Move along.
