What do you think is the best full suspension carbon frame from china to buy on aliexpress between these two (or maybe another option at the same price that you think it is better)?

I have ordered the riot, but it has not arrived yet (the seller told me there was some stock issue with the color I wanted, which is that 'dirty white' that I like so much). The geometry seems a bit more modern, and for me having BSA was a plus. The only two downsides I see from it: only one bottle cage support, and placed a bit too high so without adapters you can only use small bottles. b) no sram UDH hanger. If they corrected these two issues it would be, on the paper and to my taste, a perfect frame for XC/light trial

My vote goes to frames from Light Carbon. If you want a trail/enduro bike THE LCFS 947



If you prefer a XC frame. The LCFS 918

I'm not finding reviews about the LightCarbon LCFS918. Do you have it or have another frame from this brand?

Both of those bikes are built by Steffan.
If you search this forum you will find threads on both of these frames.

If you look for an XC bike. Did you look at the FM936 or FM909 from Carbonda ?
Many happy people here(me included).
They are not on aliexpress, but by direct contact and trustworthy.

The problem of the FM909 for me is the Seat post diameter of 30.9mm, I prefer 31.6mm. FM936 is 31.6mm and have a geometry very close to the FM909, seems to be a good option, tje only problem is to have only one suport for water bottle.

The both of your frames have only one bottle mount.
