An interesting project from 77Designs who have been making chain guides and bash guards for a few years, have now gone all in a made a high pivot bike with an idler wheel. It uses a Horst-style link with the brake mounted on the seat stay. The company is really open about how they have developed the bike and you can get the full story here.

Bionicon doesn't care how the others do it. Their ClimbAir system allows riders to drastically change the bike's geometry with the push of a button that moves air from the fork to the shock, or vice versa, through interconnected tubes. This allows you to steepen the bike for climbing and then, just by pushing a button, slacken it out for descending. It's the rEVO 0 that's pictured here, that rolls on 27.5'' wheels and can be had with either 160mm or 180mm of travel via different rocker arms and its X-Fusion suspension. 

The ClimbAir system allows for a massive 5-degrees of adjustment that can be stopped anywhere between being fully extended or fully compressed.
