When folded it doesn’t look that different from a Brompton, but unfolded it looks a bit ungainly. Does it have stabilisers or something?
The Beast looks mental… but would be pretty awesome fun!

How high is that bottom bracket? The trouble with using DH geometry as a design starting point is that it leaves the bike with an impossible to resolve compromise – difficult to pedal or too tall to get on. This isn’t the first designer to make such a gaffe. And it wont be the last. Other niggles include the extra high rear suspension pivot point and that ridiculously high top tube. A triumph of style over content, with flaws like that I wouldn’t trust that they’d got the fundamentals right. .
