It is only similar to moots in that it has a flex plate behind the bottom bracket attaching the chainstays.
I made a carbon leaf spring attaching the seat stays to the frame to keep the frame from having any torsional twisting, that works very well and there is a elastomer damper attached to dampen the rebound effect.
The first carbon bike was my mountain bike the suspension is fine after 5 years of riding singletrack.
Carbon has an infinite fatigue life as long as it is designed within its limits.
