Aluminum frame, 200-mm of travel, 26" wheels and a 63-degree head angle on the Bulls Wild Core DH bike, as raced by Wyn Masters in the 2014 World Cup.

It looks complicated, but in reality it's a straightforward high single pivot with a linkage hidden in the seat tube/crank area.

No, and no. Not remotely similar. The "look" is the only parallel that could be drawn here - Split Pivot vs. a high single-pivot...totally different approaches to suspension design.

Split pivot is a single pivot. And the Wilson uses a pretty high pivot at that. As said, the brake mounting is different, but appart from that, there are some similarities. These to are definetly a lot more similar than the Bulls and a Session for example. And the Bulls isn't as extreme as the Zerode is.

Quite simmilar, though the Wilson has it's pivot quite a bit lower so Devinci can get away with the ordinary drivetrain without the idler pulley. That and the Wilson is a split pivot, which means the brake caliper isn't mounted to te swingarm (as it is here), enabling Devinci (Dave) to better tune the braking performance.

Don't quite understand, but it is like the Wilson?
