Reminds me more of a
Moots YBB (why be beat?) pivotless rear suspension. I disagree that this very limited travel suspension design is going to rob a lot of power from the engine. In certain terrain it will faster. It will be more comfortable in all conditions. I doubt that little bumper adds a lot of weight either. I like the front suspension also very much so. I don't think we should lump this bike into the full suspension category, nor would I consider the fork to be similar to typical suspension forks. I wish I had a fork like that on my Cannondale. More
Silk Road than off-road.
