I think it's just a DH bike...

Maybe so. Didn't see it specified either way.

[Jotegr]

If it's a DH bike and it doesn't specify SUPER BOOST I'd have to assume it's just standard DH spacing.

I really don't wanna see the Chinese get on super boost lol

Has anyone built up one of these yet? I love my 1003 which got me into riding park/DH heavily since I built it, and although I don’t foresee a new build in 2025 — especially given the wild cost of good dual crown forks — the idea of a full on DH bike appeals to me more and more these days.

I assume it would ride very similarly to the 1003, but there are enough differences with things like weight balance and shock leverage that I’m very curious about it. I’ve been meaning to ask Wing what the price is on the 1286.

I was told $1250 for the frame plus axle and headset are extra.  Very tempted with this frame.  I have the 1003 and just finished riding in Moab and I was awesome.  Torn between this and just adding a dual crown to the 1003.  The geo seems in line with other DH bikes and I like the simplicity of the linkage. Some of those DH bikes can get crazy complex

[FullCarbonAlchemist]

That’s just a little more than the 1003, which is amazing because so many DH frames and components are priced even crazier than the rest of the MTB market.

Dual crown forks are like 30% more than single crown enduro forks (Fox 38 vs 40 etc) but a full DH bike with that familiar ride quality/handling I love from the 1003 would be awesome. And I think I’ll actually ride enough park in the next couple years to justify it.
