Sorry but Pakers have a pretty high failure rate.

Dobermann Le Pink with a lowered 36 float awsome bike sold my BlkMkrt mob ss because all I ride is the pink. But I do want a Double or a Morewood Ndiza to replace my geared mob

something to understand about full suspension frames with bottom bracket mounted swingarm pivots is that they pedal like complete sh*t

ask any suspension designer about locating the swingarm pivot on the bottom bracket- its absolutely the worst location to locate the pivot as every pedal stroke causes the suspension to compress (squat) which means you are riding a pogo-stick

in the real world, if you are going to run your rear shock with lots of air pressure (Air shock) or a heavy spring (coil shock) and are only riding slopestyle courses or Dirt Jump trails where a couple of pedal strokes is all you need to get moving, its a trade off you will be willing to make, to not have any issues with breaking rear derailleurs, as you want to keep it super simple like a BMX

for riders who are actually pedalling about, its a big fail - get a bike with a proper suspension system, get a chain device at the front and derailleur-based gears at the back and go ride (fast, and efficiently) Wink

...but, bottom bracket pivots are cool. Gears are ghey! and who wants a stupid dumb ghey chain tensioner? nobody! I don't care if my bike pedals like crap, kills all my energy, and won't last a year. Efficient suspension is mad overrated. It's all about street cred, don'tcha know.

since this is posted in the dirt jumping/street forum i guessing that it what it is going to be used for. I that case any suspension design would have to be set up really stiff, to avoid bob. the whole basic idea of a dj/street ss fully is to take the harshness out of landings. Where in that case the Pink excels, full cromo, pedals and rides like a ht but so much nicer to land.

This thing can be run without a tensioner. 24 Flextoys or whatever the shit it's called... It looks pretty good, but I'm skeptical about that URT suspension...
