LCFS948 - a new enduro from Light Carbon

[veeTee1Pah]

The chainstay length in the chart seems to be a lie. If you zoom in on the drawing, you can see the dimension of the chainstay is 450mm (plus or minus 3mm). The drawing probably has the true chainstay length since the chart doesn't add up. The wheelbase should equal the front-center plus chainstay length (rear-center).

This is a long chainstay length while the Scor 4060 has short chainstays.

A couple posts on this thread (and maybe Light Carbon's marketing) incorrectly call the suspension "VPP". VPP has counter-rotating links, and this bike seems to have co-rotating links.

The length or RC will be 435mm.
 the data is 450mm in the drawing because the drawing is for EMTB frame LCE971, the drawing of LCFS948 is no finished, so we have to use the old drawing to show it, EMTB request the longer RC.

Do you know what size the shock will be on the new LCFS948 frame? 

[JimLee]

Do you know what size the shock will be on the new LCFS948 frame?

In our plan the rear shock is 210*55mm,
now we are change the design to make the frame can fit for the shock with big piggy bag.

with these changes will the shock size change or just have more room?

[JimLee]

We change the linkage, so there are enough room for coil shock,
and There will be external cable routing at the head tube.

So when do you think this frame will be avaible?

They are available to order now if you ask.  I placed an order about 2 weeks ago.  Was told mid Jan they would ship

Pls make it a stiffer rear swing arm.

If not, @lightcarbon you will get issue like that problem of
FS 381 model.

Looking forward for a size s.

[JimLee]

The  rear swing arm as same as which in enduro EMTB, so no need warry about it,
size S now have no plan for it, first size M and L,

[bbr]

Do tell when there is a size S. Not everyone can use 460 reach m size.

But I do understand, for L and M.

This might already be out for production, but if there is anyway to shorten the seat tube length so riders could fit a larger dropper post and have a lower stand over height, it would be really appreciated. It would also probably make the bike more attractive to a larger audience of buyers. 495mm is a very long seat tube length for a size large bike. Most manufactures try to get those below the 450mm mark.

[bbr]

Yep. STA way too high. Do try to shorten it

the size M is on testing, size L have no make the metal mold, need more time, so we have the time for seat post,
but one question is if short the length of seat tube, it's hardly make sure the enough length for inseart parts of dropper post. the seat post only can be between the two red lines,

So when do you think this frame will be avaible?

after chinese new year holiday. about in late February or early March,
Now we are improving the strength of the rear triangle because some problems were discovered during testing!
