Fox Patent Shows Automatically Decoupling Hub & Disengaging Derailleur
The thing is, it doesn't. No-one ever suffers from pedal kickback as your hub isn't engaged at anything but ridiculously slow speeds anyway. A disengaging hub leaves all the forces from chain slap, cassette momentum and mech clutch + spring through travel / slap. Spring loaded float at the crank( like O-chain, where the only force you feel is however light the spring is on the O-chain) or disengaging chainrings is what you want, because it actually gets rid of the forces you feel in reality.

18 Bikes Launches Updated No9 Hardtail
@tall-martin: maybe a misunderstanding there, the previous versions of No7 and No9 frames were £900, so not a huge increase for this version.

18 Bikes Launches Updated No9 Hardtail
I know it sounds awkward, but we're trying to encourage folks to consider sizing as more than just "I always ride a Large, I'll order a Large" - different models/brands can vary so much it doesn't always make sense to default to what size you already ride.
