TopFire FM-M940

Haven’t seen much discussion about this one, and its description/geo is a bit confusing (does the chart indicate 160mm rear travel and a 180 fork? There’s no indication of adjustable travel). But it seems promising.

Before I decide to commit to the safe but slightly boring 4-bar option with the upside down shock (FM1002), one of the frames I could build with a 185x55 shock I already have (FM1001 or LCFS947 though I don’t love the looks of the latter), or roll the dice on a Haideli FS830 despite the issues with the 831….I thought this TopFire frame might be worth looking into more closely.

Looks like an Ican frame? If so, should be plenty of feedback out there. Travel range is probably with different stroke shocks...

TopFire does seem to use open molds in common with several other vendors, so that wouldn’t be too surprising, but I don’t see this on ICAN’s site or in any of its marketplace listings….
