Lexon 258 Full-Suspension XC

[Overload]

Hi,

New guy here.

I've desperately been looking for info about a Lexon frame that lucks very much lika a Scott Spark but with a none trunnion shock mount.


This frame doesn't seem to have any official name but I have seen it referred to as "Model Number: 258" in some places. Mainly on Alibaba:
https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/LEXON-Mountain-Bicycle-Frame-No-Logo_1600146495170.html?spm=a2700.wholesale.deiletai6.29.771912ba4f8MzK&bypass=true

Geometry is very similar to the Scott:

VS.


Lexon is a BKR brand but their page doesn't seem to have been updated in ages and the frame is not on there:

The frame does seem to be a unik variant even if it's very close looking to other clones like the Lightcarbon LCFS911 or Tideace FM-XC029.

Does anyone here have any experience with this model? I haven't been able to find any tests or reviews anywhere. 
It looks like a good deal.

It's sold in a bunch of palaces but here are a few examples:

https://www.aliexpress.com/store/5748318?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000007.1.4abf60d3OXWj9t

Any recommendations on where to buy (or not to buy) is highly appreciated.

That frame is the same as a hongfu fm258. There is plenty written on it here and on mtbr.  I have a similar frame (fm058) which is very very similar, just a different top tube seat tube junction and non-boost, but otherwise identical geometry.  It was also sold through pro-mance, and sissypants wrote up a fair bit of details out his - check out his thread on here.  I am still riding mine, and am still super happy with it, have had great success XC racing on it.

Those other frames you mention are not the same frame.

Do you have some more details about the shock ?

[adbosch]

Not sure what you want to know specific.
This is my first fully so i can't really compare. But i'm happy with it.

DNM shock 165*38mm
275 max psi.

Any questions let me know

@adbosch: Did you have to pay additional taxes, or is the statement from Lexon correct that there will be no additional charges? (assumption based on your alias, your from The Netherlands as well?

Another question: Does the frame fit 2.35 tires as well?

And great to see the builds, looks really nice!
