Hier mal nen copy and past aus dem Pinkbike Forum. Gibt demnächst bestimmt auch mal ne deutsche Erklärung dazu.
Thema Flexpivot :
"Actiually I can totally understand your concerns, because it's new, because it's something that has not been done before on a gravity orientated bike.
But does that mean it's bad?
If you look at the numbers of leverage ratio, anti squat and even anti rise we could hardly have created a kinematic that was more suitable for a full on enduro racing machine. Even if we had added 28 more bearings and a slider (which sure would have looked super awesome and therefore would have made it a way more reasonable discussion with your wife Big Grin or your husband to be fair to all the fast girls out there❤)
So the only remaining worries could be that the flex is so strong that it negatively affects the spring curve of your rear suspension and that the flex is so strong that seatstay may break. But neighter is the case.
You may not belive me but actiually we engineered the kinematics with a flex needed so little that once you have removed the shock you can push the swingarm through its travel by just slightly touching it with your little finger. I'm pretty sure some of the magazines will demonstrate that once they have the bike
Realy hard to argue that there is any drawback on suspension performance.
And because the fiber layup is made in a way that supports this flexible movement only in the desired direction the swingarm remains stiff and 100% play free in the sideways direction. You will also never nerd to service that Pivot.
The bike was designed to be light not because we wanted to build the lightest enduro bike the wold has seen, but because we realized we could do it without any drawbacks."
