@mattg95: generally, anti squat is a function of chain line and pivot/instant-center location. On a high pivot bike, anti squat is dominated by the pivot location, and the chain line is moved by the idler to a position such that it’s effect on anti squat is relatively low. Additionally, the chain length is very close to constant on high-single-pivot-idler bikes (because of the idler), so as the suspension compresses, the chain does not need to “stretch” between the crank and the cassette, meaning your crank doesn’t have to rotate to account for the “stretch” (since chains don’t really stretch, either the cassette or cranks must rotate to account for any required additional chain length between the cassette and chainring during suspension compression). Hopefully that’s helpful?

This. I don’t understand why more people aren’t commenting on the price when the entire pinkbike community freaks out over similarly priced/specced bikes from pivot, yeti, etc (which are also silly expensive).
