This frame Lexon Spark ( funny their trail bike is the spark and the xc is the genius) , it has dw link at bottom and the angles aren't too far out of whack.  I just wish open mold bikes could take a bigger rear tire, otherwise this isn't that bad for specs.

Been looking at that for a little while but reach and TT are short.

I need to email them because they list an XL 21 but the geometry only goes up to 19.  Geometry #'s are getting so loose these days....

I would say this frame has been in the market for years, tantan FM356 and other sellers had it. I remember to have seen information in mtbr forum on the thread of chinese frames fs. It was available at first in 12x142mm rear though.

As you can see, the video has some years. And in the bigger size, the frame has the small triangle next to the seat. You can see pictures in aliexpress in the user reviews.

Yep, it has a front triangle and a rear triangle. They're practically the same.   ;D 8)

The BKR frame you are seeing might be different if you see a replica of the pivot.

" Yep, it has a front triangle and a rear triangle. They're practically the same. " I think it is the DW link.

That bike in the original post has vpp linkage not DW link like the Switchblade.

That looks a lot more like a dw link on the spark than a vpp

Bike in the OP has counter rotating links, like VPP. DW Link has links that rotate the same direction.

Or at least that's my understanding.

I looked at the 27.5 and they all had 457 mm stays like the 29. Did you try to fit 29" wheels?

yes if i fit the 29er wheel 2.1 or 2.25 tyre it will not turn in the frame

Looks like you got the wrong size. Send them the pics.

Definitely looks like the wrong frame. Send them another message with pics and a link to this thread.  If that doesn't help then lodge a claim with Aliexpress or your bank.

It's now Chinese New Year so you probably won't get any responses for about a week or maybe more.
