Can anyone identify the bike that M. Delfaud is riding on the cover of the latest issue of Dirt (96)?
http://dirtmountainbike.com/magazine/dirt-96-2.html

I didnt think much of it at first, other than it being a great picture, but now on closer inspection it looks like it has some crazy suspension design (or it could just be a single pivot but the angle and shadow make it difficult to be sure).

Ive tried googling him to no avail.

It looks kinda like an MDE bolder but not quite the same.

Ive been searching for ages now but not found anything.

Yeah you can see the little air shock and the mounting points on the swingarm.

Its not an ASX or a Killswitch because the shock goes to the middle of the down tube.

I thought it might have been a european brand like canyon or UMF but sadly not.

Not one of their current line-up.

You cant quite make out what is written on the downtube. looks like the last part is a 9 in a red box and the first character is an o or a u.
