I’m genuinely unsure about what these pivots do...
Granted, I’m no suspension genius, or even of average iq....

The entire rear end makes no sense. I can't for the life of me, see where there could be any forward links or pivots at the CS/BB or SS/ST areas.

It's like a full suspension bike drawn by a 3rd grade kid, with cataracts and parkinsons....

Peeps - it's just another variation on Horst link suspension design.
No...I remember the way Ellsworth had their knock off of the Lawhill link. That is what this looks like to me, but with some "modern" curves thrown in to update the look.

I also find the Rocky Mountain dh frame's rear end looks a lot like the old Ellsworth dh frame (dare?).

A Lawwill link & a Horst link are extremes of pretty much the same thing:



On the Lawwill link the seatstay is only a few inches long & the rocker link is huge.

This Ellsworth down the middle.

Except nothing like the mid stay pivots..
Those pivot locations simply indicate a longer upper rocker & extended seatstay below the hub point location.

Nothing weird going on once you understand it.

Remember the old Giant Horst link thing?



Same same.
