Like Greg indicated, it's not about innovations, it's about selling
incompatability and cornering all of the rats who buy into their
proprietary garbage. They just use "innovative" as a buzzword to
sucker dumbasses like littlejim,puddinhead and all of the other come
and gone blind crackandfail suckers who have peed in AM-B.

Many different bikes, a few even missing from here:

Rag if you will because I don't know you and don't really give a ****
what anyone thinks of what I ride. They work for me and I would never
claim any one of them is the be all to end all like the blind dumbass
flag wavers of crackand fail do.

Would never "rag" on someone else's ride, it's non of my business. I was
just curious what someone would ride if they thought a Cannondale was such a
piece of junk. I have several different brands, but have had very good
luck with Cannondales, and currently own 4 of them, but also have or have
had a Giant, Raleigh, Rans, Diamondback, & Schwinn, I've never had any major
problems with any of them, except the Giant where the SID shock was so
flexible it caused some handling problems.

Finally an intelligent question. (That you know the answer to, of
course): They thought the Motolite should replace it, and for many
folks, it has. It's lighter, has approx the same travel, same
incredible quality built into the frame, and they went with the single
pivot, similar to an extended travel Racer=X. and not much different in
geometry from another danged good bike, the Yeti 575.

CDB ---and still happy with my Blade, thank you.
