I knew someone had done it . Cannondale were still pretty innovative.

Cannondale. It is one thing to be innovative, it's another to make your innovations work. The press releases and marketing were impressive though… [unless you bought one]!!!!

And of course Dirt Rider did give it Bike of the Year [without riding it]. Says it all really.

You would think that if there was a real advantage they would try it in competion, MotoGP or W/MotoX Champs, first.

We'll await with interest and an abated breath

I think the whole idea is to move the crank spinning mass closer to the center of the bike, for a more nuetral weight distribution........something about better handling.
