That thing looks horrible...
Is it just me? I thought that was really cool looking at first, but then I thought about riding it, and... wouldn't the cockpit geometry be all over the place while it's compressing? It's like front suspension on the frame. Ew.
I think it's a concentric BB URT. If you're standing you shouldn't notice anything since the distance from the BB to bars will not change.
Yeah, but the seat will push forward during full compression, won't it?
once again cannondale takes the most awkward approach possible at a suspension design
besides the seat moving and top tube potentially making you sterile, its plain hideous

Yes, it should have the same angular displacement as the wheel/axle. I don't think you'd notice since you'd be standing unless you are pinching the seat during compression.
I'm with gackrider. Cannondale seems to create problems to solve so that they can be innovative.
to say that bike is heinously ugly, would be doing an injustice to the meaning of ugly...
You kinda have to wonder what Aaron Chase was thinking when he signed off on this thing.
You guys think it's that bad? It's ugly, but I don't think it's any worse looking than any other full suspension bike. I think almost all fullys are ugly as hell... most don't even look like bikes. At least this one has the frame shape of a normal bike.
Just slap an old school checkered top tube pad on that sucker...

It was his napkin sketch that created this thing. As far as I know, he loves it. Besides that, I don't get how people say it's ugly. The only visible difference between this and his regular hardtail is the headshok action. Seems pretty alright to me!
yeah... there was something in DIRT UK or DECLINE interviewing him and he basically built one prototype for himself.... and then got his sponsor interested. seemed like it was definitely his idea.
would probably be a sh*tty urban bike unless all you do is drop off of loading docks
Well it's a slope style bike. From what he says in his interviews it does the job quite well as it has the same GEO / maneuverability as his hard tail but with 3 inches of squish for softer landings.
in the slopestyle world its probably pretty good design
You cant judge until you have ridden one. For example the new rocky mountains.
I think he is smart enough and mature enough to say "well nice try but this thing sucks" if it really was a bad idea. I doubt he would put his career in jeopardy by riding an inferior product.
