Aluminum frame, 200-mm of travel, 26" wheels and a 63-degree head angle on the Bulls Wild Core DH bike, as raced by Wyn Masters in the 2014 World Cup.

It looks complicated, but in reality it's a straightforward high single pivot with a linkage hidden in the seat tube/crank area.

No, and no. Not remotely similar. The "look" is the only parallel that could be drawn here - Split Pivot vs. a high single-pivot...totally different approaches to suspension design.

Split pivot is a single pivot. And the Wilson uses a pretty high pivot at that. As said, the brake mounting is different, but appart from that, there are some similarities. These to are definetly a lot more similar than the Bulls and a Session for example. And the Bulls isn't as extreme as the Zerode is.

Quite simmilar, though the Wilson has it's pivot quite a bit lower so Devinci can get away with the ordinary drivetrain without the idler pulley. That and the Wilson is a split pivot, which means the brake caliper isn't mounted to te swingarm (as it is here), enabling Devinci (Dave) to better tune the braking performance.
