mob: Small frame shown? Be interesting to see how the design is implemented in the larger sizes, but that one sure looks good.

what benefits does the weird rear shock give over a more standard and simple design?

Nothing, it amounts to being the same thing as the 11ty billion other "faux bar" frames.

Id imagine they will just make it longer on the big sizes, each size having the same amount of stand over, but maybe a little more seat tube above the top tube join, who knows.

You can fit that configuration into a really small front triangle?

Looks to me as though the curve is there for a reason - to clear the crown at the front/top end, and to squeeze the shock in at the bottom end.
