First Ride: Frameworks Racing Trail Bike Prototype - Crankworx Whistler 2023
@lastminutetech: the split pivot design from trek is another example of single-pivot axle path with 4-bar linkage. But with better braking characteristics than a true single-picot

First Ride: Frameworks Racing Trail Bike Prototype - Crankworx Whistler 2023
@lastminutetech: Horst falls under the 4-bar umbrella but not all 4-bar is Horst. It has to do with the rear most picot. On a Horst bike the pivot is in front of the axle in the chainstay somewhere. Some 4-bar designs have the link sort of above the axle. There is only one pivot between the axle and the frame (the pivot right above the bottom bracket). There is still a pivot nearish the axle but its between the axle and the seatstay so it doesn't effect the axle path. This second one is called a "single-pivot 4-bar" because the axle path is the same as a single-pivot bike but the linkage to transfer forces to the shock is 4-bar. So the shock kinematics are 4-bar-esque.

This has never been installed. In the original packaging. I believe this works with 2018 through to the current 36mm forks.
