 It's not quite time for the big reveal, but you're welcome to ask questions!

 Is this similar to BMW's telelever suspension?

 Similar, yes, but it's our own - and patented! - design.

 I feel I should expand on this.

The Telelever is a combination of linkage and telescoping systems, plus a shock. Our Without Telescoping Fork* design is more similar to a Hossack/Fior/Britten/Duolever (etc.) design, but with one major improvement: these designs use two spherical bearings in the main load path; we use only single-axis bearings in the load path and locate our one spherical bearing on the steering linkage, which increases handling precision and durability, while also reducing cost and weight.

The Hossack (etc.) designs allow for adjustment of handling parameters via adjustments at the spherical bearings; we accomplish this with eccentrics or flip chips at the mounting points of the parallel control arms.


* We take our engineering seriously, but not always our acronyms Wink
