in reply to derkaderka: obviously u dont no much french but vtt means velo tout terain, and tht translates roughly to mtb etc. it isnt to do with th linkage system. it may look similar to the giant but when u get down to the linkages it isnt so jus give up arguing that it is, no-one cares, its a sick bike
the only difference here looks to be the rear swing arm.. Giant uses a mono swingarm(one piece) where as the Sunn uses a separate chain stay/seat stay arrangement.. instead of pushing the shock upwards as on the giant, the little knuckle pivot pushes it forward..
well, on the Sunn website, the bike is called "VTT Radical Exo"... VT was a suspension platform used by giant on some of their older bikes. Also, on the Giant website, it says that the old Dh team used a "single pivot four bar linkage". By the looks of things, it almost sounds like a description for the Sunn.
well even if they are designed different i think they still look similar. not saying someone stole someones design just that they do look very similar atleast at first look
So basically, Giant sold their old blueprints from the Dh-team, and Sunn built a newer version, with smaller tubing? dont get me wrong though, still an amazing bike,. it just seems to draw so much of it's design from Giant's old frame
