Ellsworth has a history of bikes that are less lekker to look at. 
 

 

The rest of you Fugly Bikes might as well go home. Ellsworth has entered the room and is holding all your beers.

The only thing I see whatching that is just more unnecessary maintenance. 

Not really, looks more complex than what it is. Keep it clean and lubed along with the rest of the bike, nothing extra to maintain at all. Rode it for a good six months, really good constant traction and antisquat, . 
The design is a good few years old now though, I think with patents like DW now open and updated suspension, it’s current relevance is arguably questionable.

The Marin Wolf Ridge is another serious contender.

Sad reacting to every post, because I agree, but these poor bikes didn't ask to be born this way. 😢

I think this wins hands down, looks like two engineers that hated each other worked on this, one designed the rear triangle and the other one got the rest of the bike to do.

This bike doesn’t seem to know what to identify as. Front half is a mountainbike. Rear seems like half motocross.

there's unfortunately so many different ones but you basically post any photo of literally ANY Knolly here and it would win by a country mile
