Lapierre called they want their bike back

The purpose of the Vivid Air is to have a SKU/model to compete with the X2 for OEM spec. The Super Deluxe air is clearly good enough to win a world cup DH but when it comes to brands, they want to spec 'big dawg' shocks on enduro bikes and DH bikes. The X2 looks more formidable and hardcore because of it's size over a Super Deluxe air. So enter the Vivid Air. There are obviously other things/benefits.

I was looking at the Canfield brothers' CBF suspension patent when I noticed Chris has two pending patents under his Suspension Formulas kinematics company, and they seem pretty interesting. One is essentially a frame with different main pivot locations to provide a "selectable axle path" ( seen here), while the other is a new 4- or 6-bar suspension system with the BB located on the lower link ( here). At the bottom of Suspension Formulas' website they list their available designs, with the addition of two new ones: "Chris' Formula Zero/CFZero" which mentions the moving-BB design patent in its description...

Well, looks like Jesse's got the new Vivid Air. It can only be so long now... Right?
