That's quite fancy, but is URT not a terrible design for a suspension bike?

Re:
I'd always assumed it only became a terrible design when the Next Big Thing happened in full suspension (whatever that was) Up until then it was perfectly acceptable 'cos we knew no better!

Well suspension passed me by until very recently, so I might be well out, but it seems there is no suspension between the rear wheel and the cranks. Only between the rear wheel and the saddle. So you only get the benefit if you are sitting down, and you are still not getting it at the cranks even when sitting. :?
I suppose it's good for pedalling efficiency.

I was reading an old MBUK having seen many people say URT was awful and it turns out what you say above was exactly the point.
I was designed at a time when many were still on hard tails or rigid and were reluctant to move across to full suss. URT was lighter than many of the FS designs of the era and less active so more palatable to those happy with no suspension.
