¡Mira, una ardilla!
Vampire Bikes - Chris Canfield's new brand. However, the suspension layout is a normal horst link, but it has multiple main pivot locations you can use. It sounds akin to trying to patent leverage rate flip chips.
I got downvoted at Vital for stating the obvious. Jeez, some people is dying just to have something new to worship...

Given that vampires are essentially parasites, that's a spot-on name for a brand seeking such patent absurdity.

Eh? Some DH frames back in 2001 had 2 separate main pivot locations. swapped in exactly that way

eg.
Coyote DH3/Muddyfox Descent (same frame)
Dammit Gary…ruining the patents for bike companies that think they are doing something new…like putting the seatpost in front of the bottom bracket.
