To some degree, because you still have unsprung weight on the back it is still affecting the bikes performance without you noticing, so you can have this bike with sophisticated suspension but a conventional drivetrain or you can have a zenerode taniwha with a more conventional suspension but with a sophisticated drive train, Both very innovative bikes in their own way

@Patrick9-32: correct, but There's two options, you can have the square one with the awesome suspension but with a massive cassette in the rear wheel which means unsprung on the rear wheel that some how it defeats the purpose of the r3act suspension Option two is the zerode taniwha with a gearbox and no unsprung weight in the rear wheel which means a more balanced bike, but then the gearbox is not completely there when it comes to performance for enduro racing, so two very different bikes trying to solve the same problem which is making the perfect bike
