Hard tail suspension
« on: August 14, 2021, 02:35:29 AM »
Was just about to pull the trigger on a tan tan fm799 hard tail but would have liked a little more suspension travel than the 100mm recommended on the fm799. Anybody seen a hard trail frame with more suspension travel maybe 140mm?

Honestly, I do not believe that there are any all mountain hard tails coming out of the Chinese market today.  It would be cool to see a Yeti ARC clone but I don't believe I've run across anything designed around an axle to crown measurement larger than 510mm.  Just as an example, a 120mm Yari 29+ is 543mm.

If you're not dead set on carbon, the Commencal Meta HT AM is around $550 USD and is built for 150mm-170mm forks.

Just what I was thinking, much appreciated for confirming it.
