Spycycle SP-M05 @ $430 shipped https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002982566507.html

vs

Airwolf YFM026 @ $329 shipped - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002862014337.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.35393c00Ary80c&mp=1

Both of them being the Violet/cobalt blue paint. Both are T1000 carbon and ~1000grams.  Anything you can tell me between the two as far as Geo or other considerations? other options you would recommend for under $500 shipped?

thanks!

The Airwolf is nice (looks like a Santacruz).
You have also this Lexon: https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005003197389194.html?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_groupList.8148356.15.72ec7d50ZcyR5t
but shipping cost is "oups"
also the OG Evkin:

Be careful of dealing with Airwolf — if you buy from them just assume zero post sale support. There are a number of unfortunate stories on here and also the usual general forums like MTBR/Pinkbike.

you also have the Ceccotti but don't know the brand.
