Reminds me of the Whyte PRST-1..

I'm way more interested in your heavy duty bike lift, do you service motorcycles on that thing?

So let me get this right, you take a perfectly good front end with no linkages in it at all and then you.......

Ah, a muddy fox reactor - forks were directly linked to the rear suspension and shared a shock. The designers said that they had designed in a delay so that the rear shock would perform well for both the forks and rear suspension. The rear suspension would 'react' to what the forks would do. Obviously it didnt works at all well, different speeds would require different 'reactions'. it had terrible reviews in all of the media. that coupled with the horrendous cost at the time 3.5k they didnt sell many.
Personally I'd love to own one as a part of mtb history. Its a bit of a cult bike I'm. If only they had designed in a second shock for the rear......

Bionic did something similar but had two shocks, linked hydraulically and the ability to unlink them. Worked really well for cornering. Was really easy to set up as well.

The bionicon bike was for geometry changing whist riding, the muddy fox was for "performance", it just didn't work. The rear suspension would compress when the fork hits a bump and then as the rear wheel hits the same bump the fork would also compress.......

Yes. I remember they made the rear ends for a couple of Saracens top end bikes here in the UK many years ago. I still have a Risse Trixxxy fork as well which is nicely made.
