Review: Cannondale Lefty Ocho Fork
Senior mechanical engineer, once-upon-a-time bike designer, and composites expert here.
If you're trying to save weight, do a better job with your FEA and make the two sided fork better. There's just no way you can make an axle supported on one end as good as an axle supported on both ends. Torsion and moments, y'all.
The Lefty idea is simply stupid. It always has been and always will be.

Sarah Builds A Canyon Test Bike - Video
Whyte have a different approach though...they build the bike 100% at their shop in california, test ride it, then do the MINIMUM amount of disassembly required to get it back in the box.
AFAIK, YT and Canyon send you the bike as it comes from the factory, which is only like 80% of the way to being rideable. Brakes and droppers will need bleeding, derailleurs need tuning, spoke tension checking, etc.

What the Heck is a Down-Country Bike? - Opinion
Thats funny...I tried my buddy's SB5.5. Did one DH segment and handed it back. Said it felt like a monster truck, and I couldnt feel anything.

You mean, like, a trail bike? For riding on trails? What a concept!
