My LBS has the one on the right, and it is electric, and goes fast! But I would never take it beyond gravel paths, too expensive, like 2 thousand!

New Santa Cruz designs seem to be pretty unpopular, especially the hump where the top tube meets the head tube. I personally can't stand Trek Bruiser 3s, no offense to anyone who has one.

there was one, I think it was BMW bikes? Very weird suspension design.

BTW, BMW stands for something, but i forgot the company name.

well, that was one of them. But there was another bike that looked really weird. It had a bunch of pivots, and the front fork moved horizontally instead of vertically.

anyway, heres a pic of the BMW bike:

I saw one today! Fugliest pipe I ever laid glazzies on.
Real horrorshow.
Black dinnerplates in the wheels didn't help, like industrial dork discs.
Neat to see, no-way I ride it.

Design elements, more specifically. I mean the weird looking head tube-top tube junction that they have on the Jackal, V10 and that new bike they just rolled out. Nobody really seems to like it. Example:
