I thought there was a reason the "usual" bike frame was in essence two triangles?
with these hoops provides 10 times the vertical flex and 60 times the shock absorption
Sounds like a lot and too much to me, there is a reason road bikes don't have rear suspension. Too much energy being absorped = loss of power and speed, right?
Most modern road bikes have curved tubes, possibly to make them bend a bit when they hit bumps, but I suspect mainly for styling. This "roundtail" just takes that to an absurd limit.

if you want more compliant ride, get a saddle with better padding or high tpi tyres.

Utterly bonkers looking mind you.
