It looks like Tantan has made a third from one frame with minor changes))

Very interested to see more info come out on this one.  Looks more Epic WC rather than SC, more or less a typical horizontal shock, flex stay single pivot, with a tiny little rocker tucked up in the top tube.  Seems to be a traditional shock, I wonder if it can be flipped to have the lockout cable go forwards.  I'd guess it's in the ~40-60mm travel range with the shock nearly in-line with the seat stay and no leverage on the rocker.  Hopefully it's light enough to justify going less than 100mm travel.  From what I've read in reviews, a lot of people think the Epic WC and SC aren't light enough to justify against just getting an equally light 100-120mm bike with lockouts.
