I think this is a review of that frame.  Looks like it’s a fairly old design.  There’s also a picture with him on it that shows how “stubby” the frame is.

I’m looking for a bike for my wife.  She wants to join me and my son on our rides, but isn’t interested in jumping or going fast.  My biggest concern is that I need to get handlebars a bit higher in the air so that she doesn’t have to lean over too much.  She has back issues and the typical mtb position doesn’t suit her, and a smooth ride is important for that same reason. Right now, I’m leaning towards the following specs:

27.5” full suspension frame
About 100mm of travel
About 68 degree head angle

Alternatively, I’d Consider a Hardtail
27.5 or 29”
Wide tires for increased comfort


Which current frames do you all recommend?  Any thoughts on full suspension vs hardtail(with wide tires)?


The only thing she’s asked for is that it be this mint color: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32950921983.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.463e4bb8s5uPdj&algo_pvid=2f537a5b-b0cc-43a6-b356-334e0bf15162&algo_expid=2f537a5b-b0cc-43a6-b356-334e0bf15162-8&btsid=908a9daa-e866-4c57-8127-b49422a88518&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0%2Csearchweb201602_4%2Csearchweb201603_52
