As for #9. Complexity? The Kona 4 bar has the same number of structural components in the rear suspension as this new design has for the front and rear suspension combined, and, as said, simply does not give the breakthrough of no bouncing motion when pedalling where as this new design does.
Rider fatigue has three main factors in this order; pedalling; frame pitch; and, suspension action. This new design has least energy loss of any bicycle by having this breakthrough and including utilizing reduced compression and rebound dampening in the shocks; frame pitch is reduced by at least 70%, and, suspension action is greatly improved as suspension forces are being transferred front to rear and rear to front giving superior action.
As for bicycle weight, as above.

Dude, whatever; my 2005 Dakar XLT does not bob when I pedal. 5.7" travel, front and rear.

If that pic is your 'creation', you can keep it. If that was the only bike left on the planet, I'd go back to driving.

One final note: pedal bob is NOT the great evil it's been made out to be by the anal-retentive. When you get seasick from the bobbing, you have a problem, otherwise, no.
