Polygon Square One EX9 and its R3ACT Suspension - Where it Came From and How it Works
@WaterBear: There are no text books (that I'm aware of) specifically relating to bicycle suspension, however my website has a stack of info in the theory section: http://www.i-tracksuspension.com/suspensiontheory.html
Some other useful references are as follows:
For a bigger picture of vehicle dynamics, read Carroll Smith's 'Tune to Win'
Motorbike suspension: Tony Foale's 'Motorcycle Handling and Chassis Design', make sure you get the second edition though (first edition has an error with regards to swingarm mounted idlers).
Also, Dave Weagle's patents are pretty informative, and my patent (US9168977) also has a ton of info in it.
Happy reading!

@VorsprungSuspension: Not all suspension designs have higher AS in lower gears. It depends whether the Axle-IC line crosses the chainline behind vs in front of where the chain makes contact with the front chainring.

Bike Show Walkabout With RC - Interbike 2015
This isn't the same as the Kona Magic Link.
With Kona Magic Link, the axle path has two degrees of freedom (2dof), and therefore the axle can move within a 'window' of travel. It needs (and has) two independent springs/dampers to control this.
Tantrum Meltdown is a 6-bar linkage. The axle path has one degree of freedom (1dof), and can only move along a single pre-determined axle path. It only needs (and only has) one spring/damper.
Claims of it working like a 2dof system are false.

@PedroVieira
Just for clarification, I-Track Suspension is an Australian company (not German). :)
