What kind of piviots are going to be used? Bushings? Bearings? INA? Needle?

Is this geared towards a true 4x type track or is it going to be more a do it all type frame that can do 4x.

We're going to go with IGUS Bushings and an easy to access grease port.
The reason is the system will stay stiffer longer, the grease will push any water and grit out of the shells past the bushings. Also we won't need to use heavy steal axles as bearing races, so we could go with lighter ones. [lighter bikes = faster bikes]
This will be a similar system to Turners use of bushings and I haven't heard any complaints from their customers. The system should last a lot longer and be lighter then bearings. However we still feel that bearings are required for the bikes that will take serious impacting loads and thats why all our freeride bikes will continue to use full compliment bearings.

This bike will be a true 4X race bike. No point making a race bike that you will compromise in any area... then you won't have a competitive advantage at the gate. Some people will find other uses for it besides racing, but make no mistake it was made to jump out of the gate, and stay quite stiff [like a platform] when hammering out of the saddle. As soon as you start to coast the suspension will become supple with a nice progressive curve.
When determining the criteria for the bike I was adamant that we stay focused on its purpose as a 4X race bike. We talked to our team guys who race 4X but wanted something more competitive and specific for that discipline and this is how we determined the geometry and spec.
When we rode the Pyre we did find the VF4B suspension system should be applied to a few more platforms because of its intrinsic properties. What you won't find from us, as a company, is sticking with any one type of suspension system... we will define our product by its performance and not by what it looks like, where we decided to put the links, or what the flavor of the month is.
We probably won't sell as many because we're focusing it so specifically to 4by, but I'm cool with that... I just want the fastest damn bike that owns the 4X courses.
