Am I the only one who gets really annoyed by the 90s dial-up porn marketing methods modern bike companies employ to present new products?

Bike looks interesting, and being Nukeproof it will probably be priced nicely. The front triangle looks a so similar to my old TR450 frame. Kinda surprised they're not doing the whole carbon thing though.

Mid height single pivot with a linkage and nice, compact packaging...what's not to like? Except for hyBROforming and the weird circular "gusset" beneath the seattube.

I like the "fender" for the shock. Not sure about the two piece solution though. But if they machine the holes for the bearings afterwards I'm cool with that.

Oh nice, adjustable CS length by the looks. Dunno about that weird downtube hump thingo, but otherwise looks good. Looks better than the previous Scalp IMO.

I thought you only liked really high pivots :D
I prefer them to be just above the chainring, whatever the size of the chainring is. Looks like this one is a bit lower, but whatevs. Anything below the chainring is a disaster, IMO, unless you're only riding berms n jumpz. Looking at the second set of photos, it's not as high as I thought.
