im sorry il explain, this is the linkage only, there is no main frame.

Yellow is swing arm,

black is bar in between two pivots.

Blue is shock

Black lines are linkage

Red Dots are pivots

The lowest red pivot is where the bb would be

I give up for now... If you would find it easier to draw on paper, do so, then take a pic. This is looks like hieroglyphics...

bassicaaly AB the idea is the the rear wheel can move in any direction in a given area to react to hits more natural(do to the no axel path) so you hit a drop it goes up you hit a log it goes back ect.

nowww you got the idea coming together. if you had that working good, it would take a shitload of engineering, but jeeeeez that could work really well.

the big prob in my head looking at this is that when you hit a square edge, the wheel would travel back and up very quickly, which i would imagine would be very problematic for chain growth and cause massive pedal feedback. also, as it is every time the yellow linkage was activated i would pull the black linkage back, expanding the wheelbase and chain, even on purely landings as they are connected. I could definitely be looking at the drawing wrong tho.

one point i am still missing with a design like this is making the shock compress with the lower pivot movement
that doesn't look like it would hold the stress at all its tiny and only on one point

what about chain growth have u thought of that becuz when i think of the rear end moving it looks like a lot of chain growth
