Probably but that's going a bit too far considering you can barely make out part of the linkage.hmm, looks overly complex, but then again, it is a scott!
yeah, but it isn't too hard to figure out what's happening based on the pivot locations...don't get me wrong, I've like the couple of scott's I've ridden, guess I was expecting something a bit more refined....that being said, I'm interested in seeing the full frame, which I'm sure will be shortly enough!Probably but that's going a bit too far considering you can barely make out part of the linkage.

no moto seat, no careThey're breaking out the lightweight short travel stuff for PMB though.
A lot of 'complicated' looking bikes don't have any more pivots or number of moving parts as some simpler looking bikes. It's all just levers pushing shocks dressed up in different packages.hmm, looks overly complex, but then again, it is a scott!
yup, I understand how they work, and totally agree, which is why the whole 'secrecy' thing is funny to me...yes, I get that it's marketing, etc, etc, etc...A lot of 'complicated' looking bikes don't have any more pivots or number of moving parts as some simpler looking bikes. It's all just levers pushing shocks dressed up in different packages.
Holding off passing judgment until there are better pics
you're going to pass judgement based on pics?!Holding off passing judgment until there are better pics
I meant pass judgment on the complicated part. Even from a picture it's at least possible to see how many moving parts there are.you're going to pass judgement based on pics?!
I suppose this is the internet, but still...
son, I am dissapoint!
I'm going to stand by my previous comment....hmm, looks overly complex, but then again, it is a scott!
I'm guessing the voltage was their template when they were trying to make a longer travel bike that was lower and stiffer. And like others have said, it may look complicated but in actuality it's got as many moving parts as an evil, trek, transition or any other linkage actuated single pivot. Just doesn't look all that clean.So it's a single pivot with a funny shock linkage.
I think single pivots are great... but I'll be surprised if the leverage curve is revolutionary as a result of that linkage complication. The current voltage has a clean look.
I guess if they dial the curves it will be. I just don't see a point of making it so strange and enormous. Commencal and Evil achieve a lot without linkage that looks like they outsorced it to HR Giger. Maybe they did it as a part of local patriotism or sth.I got to have a spin on this thing in prototype guise.
It was pretty sweet!
Jejeje.... I've just checked with Linkage (It's not a good picture, but is not bad either...) and the Leverage Ratio is completely normal: 2.7-2.2 and straight as an arrow. And I'm fine with it, it's going to work well.when the first model pops up in linkage this thing damn better not have a straight line or simple parabola leverage curve. if that's the case it has no excuse for it's looks.
There are only 2 link barz other than the frame and swingarm. That's pretty much in line with most other linkage driven singe pivots out there. They're just moar longer.Looks like they added MOAR LINK BARZ just for the sake of adding moar barz.
Theres got to be a simpler way of getting the same shock rate with fewer bits bolted on. Right now, it looks like a mechano kit on coke.
This, more than anything.Though with all the competition out of there with frames, you can't afford to make an ugly one no matter how well it rides.
