I always thought Ti was supposed to be terrible for a full sus bike because it's not stiff enough for the normally used tubes.
Who does Ti frames in Taiwan? It looks nice but the hardtail frame is 3600CAD so I'd hate to see the price on that.Man... dem welds.

Seen this on the Pinkbike homepage this is not real just a concept on a modern 12'' travel Freeride bike, i think it looks good it reminds me between a Unno Ever & Evil Undead. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/the-paralititan-a-modern-300mm-huck-bike-concept-by-yoki.html

i can't imagine a usage case where something like that would make sense, but they did manage to make a foot of travel look good, so as an art project it's successful. i mean:
seriously, bender's bike must have been scary af to ride down anything knarly. seems it'd be worse than the standard 8" dh bikes of the era for anything other than roof drops to flat.
It was the definition of a huck bike. You didn't ride it down stuff, it was more aking to this:

Commencal testing DownCountry?
Prototype | Commencal bientôt de retour en XC ? ⋆ Vojo
Un prototype de XC tout-suspendu chez Commencal ? On pourrait croire à un poisson d’avril tant la marque andorrane est engagée du côté gravity du VTT, mais on est en août et c’est bien sérieux. Dans les paddocks des Gets, Commencal expose deux vélos qui n’ont pas encore de nom mais qui détonnent...

Merida with a bike that doesn't suck. What the hell is going on. Frustratingly huge jumps in frame sizing though - and fuck this headset cable routing nonsense needs to die.
Should have been a folding frame.
Not super new but the LVN160 looks okay-
Does it have a stiffening linkage like foes for the rear triangle? Can't see anything connected.
Also, not good for coil shocks.
Edit: It DOES have something going on there, checking the website. It looks to have stiffening braces right below the linkage attachment, except that they must be able to get 160mm of travel before they touch the seat-tube. Interesting. I'd still be a bit suspect about stiffness, but maybe the stiffness of steel makes up for that.
