With the Yeti on the same page, the Meta suspension looks quite similar (except of course for the infinity link of the Yeti that is a normal link on the Meta), do you think they did this to avoid broken coil shock due to high leverage forces with the longish yoke on the current kinematic ?
This is a 230 mm shock in an XL, a big one at that, frame (mine):
Though with that ZEB being a 180, the shock doesn't look THAT much bigger on the other hand too. And without going to a 180 mm frame it makes little sense to go for a 250 mm shock.
This weekend a friend meet a french rider in andorra, he ride a new meta prototype and said that this bike have a 150 rear travel, release date next summer and meta tr dissapear, only leave meta v5 and sx.
How about that Rocky Mountain ride-9: thats what we're drooling about here but those microadjustments seem to get little fan fare once they are in the wild.

Having sold lots of RMB full-suspension for a couple of years, the Rocky Ride-9 gets left in "neutral" by the vast majority of buyers, and slammed into lowest/slackest by almost everyone else. There's always one guy who climbs in one setting, busts out a multitool at the top of the hill, and then descends in a different setting. I think his name is Gerhard, maybe Dieter, I can't remember, but he wears full lycra with short-finger gloves and can make the switchover in less than 2 minutes.

I'd be surprised if they went down to 150 of rear travel from the current bike's 160 but time will tell.

Old capra had a very progressive linkage too with a 250x75 shock and most people preffered it with a coil shock
I don't think thats a trunnion
This is an interesting looking "Float X", and the branding is mirrored too...
(It looks like they've just used a 3D model for the old Float X?)
The main BB basement has a hole on one side which could be a link or shock mount. A shock mount is located under the seat mast area.
6 bar with some lower swing link?
