Can't be a Zerode, the pivot is too low (a high pivot is the main benefit, you get with using a gearbox, and a high pivot is a big benefit to the ride qualities). As for the Evil, dunno...
Its definitely not a Trek; there is no pivot around the rear axle.
Most likely not a Transition; they tend not to use overly complicated linkage systems, althought the headtube resembles one, the downtube not so much.
Unlikely to be a Foes; definitely not their style, simply because it looks nice.
Doubt it will be Black Market; as their Killswitch is fairly new, new no need to update it, and they are already basing a trail bike around the same design as it.
Doubt it will be an Intense; their Tazer VP has onl recently had an upgrade, and this features no VPP style links, and they would only even use VPP.
Commencal; good shout based on the tuving being similar to the new Supreme V3, although unlikely.
Don't think its a Jamis; they dont seem to venture into jumping/slopestyle, and once again tubing is different from what they tend to do.
Could be an addition to the new Nukeproof line up; resembles their kinda style tubing and rear end.
Almost looks like the original NS Soda; however can't be a new one as they completely changed it in favour of one looking like a Bottlerocket.
Definitely not a Cannondale; they pulled out of this market.
Other than that I haven't a clue what it may be, and the above is just my representation based on current trends for the manufacturers.
I think there's no way this could be an Intense (no VPP) or a Trek (no ABP). Black Market is a good guess though. We need a better (=less fuzzy) picture!

Evil would be interesting... after all what in the heck will Cam Zink be riding for slopestyle? and Foes is a close second

Could it be the Zerode trail bike? it's hard to tell, but it looks like it has room for a gear box in there....
