This is a thing that struck me on my visit to the US of Freedom; the lovely way cities are built in straight grids. Navigating in many yurpean cities is a nightmare with twisting streets without any logic. I attributed it to the fact that your side of the Pond never had to worry about being...

With no known geometry figures, I'd still tap that like an ADD kid with a fish bowl. Hawt.
About time YT got themselves a design department as well, I see good things in their future if this is any sort of indicator.
Well, that bike made me swear off French engineering for the rest of my life, and a country lika Canada is dangerously close...
(OK, So I've got a BOS fork on my Wilson and a Commencal trail bike, but the feeling still lingers...)
Oh GOD no, I hope not. I've had a Sunn Radical, and let me tell you the yoke thing is really a bad joke.. Bushings and special needs shocks and everything, NOT heading down that road again!
Seing how big the clearance between the rear tire and shock on my wilson is, I'd say this might be a good thing if it means they have increased it. Probably not a new length shock though, as the Ohlins-thread just stated that the shock will come to the current length? That'd be an embarrassing...
You're in luck then, we'll start building them soon. I think the official launch is pretty soon as well, but I must warn you that it'll be a tad more expensive than the standard car..
