The unknown frame is a product of Czech company Rock Machine. 2011 model called Whizz. Just spotted it at http://dolekop.com/fotky/78491-rock-machine-!

Doubtful. Turner still needs to get their act together with their "current" DHR.

The proto is an Evil.....
Evil is the only company I can see needing to do a redesign currently, everyone else is "up to date" so to speak
Evil had some issues with the original Revolt. Leverage ratios fluctuating to much & snapping links.
The rest of the markets bikes have their problems, but are new and thus desirable, the Evil is outdated hype wise.

seriously? Is kona really doing away with the stinky and stab line ups? O and it's not a pivot, the Phoenix looks more like a Sunday/Glory mix.

@ Nico_Hrndz you're right, I totally forgot they have the DW links on their bikes now...good call!

@Waki, about the Antidote : if the problem had come from the front triangle, they wouldn't have changed the lower link (look at the BB...).. sot I don't think you're right. But, who knows?

@akachlakev : Isn't it a Pivot Bikes?

@"slobby: I do not own a Scratch but I have a Nomad which is pretty much something like Sanction. My opinion might be not too relevant basing on that fact, but I do use Nomad in anything from Dirt,XC to FR and DH, though I am not a racer. All I can say is that in my opinion the FORK is the biggest issue, not the frame while we ares in the 140-180mm frame travel range. As long as you own a travel adjustable fork, you cope it with front mech and two sets of tyres lightweight/2ply: bike will be able to do pretty much anything, and pretty much do it well.

pause at 2:28 in this video, there's a really good shot of a new bike he's working on, does anyone know what it is?

Any one that have a Scratch? I'm using a GT Sanction right now. It's quite lot of aggressive sigle track but also pushbike and freeriding. Can the Scratch take on my GTs responsibility? Will I be able to pedal on a single track?

If the mystery frame is not a new prototype from Antidote bikes then I say: broken glass up yer arse whoever you are - you deserve it! That is Antidote guys suspension design. It slightly touches VPP with it's counter rotating links, we'll see what guys from SC will say about it. I hope they're cool with it.
Antidote got some negative comments on LifeLine that shock adjustments are unreachable and that front triangle looks just too simple for such an expensive bike. Perhaps they digested that and did something with it.

I think thats just Cam's Scratch. The Flatline WC is new this year, so I don't think thats a Rocky DH race bike....but maybe a new Switch/RMX replacement?

DW must be involved.

Sick Enduro Evo. 180 fox talas up front.
Proto is a Glory.

I'm with JD. The dropouts and chunky rear end look like Rocky Mountain. They are due for a new design also. Lastly, the linkage could be construed to be LC2R given that the links rotate in opposite directions.
