Yeah, that one looks like it'd be the most vertically stiff and horizontally compliant bike in the show. I wonder if that was the idea?

I wonder if next year the builder is going to turn the flat CF planes 90 degrees for a full suspension bike with no springs or pneumatics? Has anyone used CF in that manner before? It would be a fun experiment. That sort of vertical flex is well developed in skis, snowboards, skateboards, etc.
