That may be it. The entire rental fleet at Sundance is Rossi bikes this year.

Rossi appears to have a linkage on the chainstay near the rear axle... a la Horst?

One of those bikes sure looks to be stiffer than the other. And it's not the Rossi.

I stopped into a small bike shop in NH recently that was selling these, so they're not just sold online. The shop owner told me the same thing - these are NOT Felt bikes, but are designed by some of the same engineers who designed Felt's line. The guy also said he rents/demos many of them, and that his customers have good things to say.

Felt uses something similar to Trek's ABP, I believe. That Rossi has a Horst link.
Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

Maybe some stores are selling Rossi bikes but its obviously an unestablished B brand
which means any shop selling Rossi is doing so cuz they couldn't get any of the A brands
The more established stores in town will have the A brands sewn upLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

That Felt sure looks like a single-pivot?
"'Felt Active Stay Technology,' or F.A.S.T. The modified single-pivot system relies on flexing carbon seatstays instead of a pivot."
Come on, Felt.

The felts are just a basic 4 bar with a flex pivot. Not too different than what Cannondale, Yeti, and Marin have done at various times. It's a little lighter than a traditional pivot, and maybe a little stiffer if done right, but it tends to sacrifice some small bump suppleness. Either way, probably better than felt's old 6 bar design.
I'm guessing the rossi forgoes it because getting the flex stay manufactured correctly is probably a good bit more expensive than just going with a generic horst link pivot that doesn't demand any special tubing or particularly tight tolerances.
