The rear sus only theory goes thus-
You control the forks and thus where the front wheel goes but the rear wheel does not track the front wheel exactly. Consequently the rock you steered the front wheel around could hit the rear and buck the rear wheel upward sending you over the bars. Rear sus in theory would prevent this.
If Gary Klein and all the others who tried this idea had looked at the world of offroad motorcycles back into history they would have known front sus is the important bit. Folk just trying to be clever and ignoring tried and tested ideas.
Early Proflex and Cannondales such as the one Mikee has are prominent exponents of the idea.
