It looks far more complicated then it really is.

Basically it's a single pivot (main pivot is located roughly behind the top of the chainring). The "adjusting rod" is then connected to the swingarm. As the swingarm moves through it's travel, the rod effectively pulls down and rotates the upper link which actuates the shock. The rod's length can be adjusted (simple as turning the rod either clockwise/counter-clockwise) which changes the geometry of the bike.

What you don't get from the photos is how well the bike actually rides. No question the best all-around do everything bike I have ever been on.
