Pole rear triangle?
Neoprene guard and a couple zip ties...
I like the prototype better...still like the layout but that prototype is badass...The actual bike has already been spotted in the wild:
This has been attempted a couple times in the past, but I have to admit after having thrown a leg over one of Trek's IsoStrut equipped bikes I'm intrigued by this installment.
Beta's piece delivers a lot more than PB's one:
Crowdfunding a Better Moustrap: First Ride on the US-Built Digit Datum
The new Digit Datum is a US built, mid-travel trail mullet on a mission to deliver quality suspension with less hardware.

Would 100% run the Trek isostrut if it was gifted to me, the power transfer idea is valid and it works. Would 100% never spend my own money on proprietary crap like the isostrut or this. This guy claims it’s not, but the shaft, the arrangement, etc., but it most definitely is. I even have a few shocks on my XC race bike, one with a rather hard lockout for races and one set up better for trails. Being limited to one specific shock is dumb. If I wanted light, I’d go for a flex pivot design. If I wanted rigid, dual link.

plus, crowdfunding seems to say to me, “not a good enough idea for someone else to buy or to justify a business loan”…
I could go for that. But would, like the Beta writer, prefer a 29er rear wheel too.

Any idea if the frame stiffness would need a vigara since the top tube is only attached to the seat tube via that brace? Looks pretty damn slick regardless.

But look at all the room for water bottles! Carrying a broken frame out of the woods is thirsty work after all.stop
True. I'm sure it's very easy to swap out that shock and keep a spare in your workbench when the stanchion wears out.
You know what they should do? METRIC isostrut.
Apologies if previously posted here..
But this was brought to my attention this afternoon.

Thats awesome and is pretty cool to be able to stop and balance and whatnot. I saw a guy (got passed by him actually, haha) riding a custom electric DH bike at MSA last summer (I think it was an old Norco or something hacked up) and he was absolutely flying. Though it was still a bike with two wheels, so he either needed his buddy to help with balancing, a tree or......flop over to the ground.
Why does it have pedals and cranks? Seems like something that could get caught up on crap?

New Rallon on the way. Damien Oton riding it
The GMBN Instagram had a story yesterday about it. I expected them to lengthen/slacken/lower it. Instead of all of that, they just put a porta-sandwich in the downtube and called the day off.
Seriously, Orbea needs to get on board of the shorter seat tube bandwagon once and for all.

Should have gone with Ohlins.
I guarantee you someone there saw the $15k price tag on the latest Specialized ebikes and got a raging hard-on.
the number floating around for the high end build is $12k
New designs to crack.

Selling CNCd prototypes is such a funny marketing ploy in an industry where generally speaking bikes are better built and incredibly dependable compared to back in the day.
I guess there are dudes who want to pay a premium to beta test for a garage builder.
It's like 1998 all over again.

Looks like a forbidden without its high pivot.
