It's definitely different.
I think its fair to say you are quite correct in stating you are no engineer
It should be lighter and stronger than a standard setup and for a race bike they make a lot of sense in many ways. Hence its no surprise that you'll find this feature on many new race frames

It's cool. So this is the future of mountain biking? Glad I live in the past.
Hello,
I'll throw Lil Blue in to the mix.
Nothing fancy, just a Saracen Tuftrax.
