Oh, absolutely not so much better!
With frames at this prices, and given that i can use straight all my current components, i wouldnt mind trying this frame. Then sell the one that i like the least!

I am definitely interested on this frame. If the price is correct, I will get one and just put all the components from my current Ican P9 build.

Some valuable info to identify headsets:
https://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/standardized-headset-identification-system
I would say you need something like this one:
https://www.bikester.ch/sixpack-sxr-2in1-headset-zs44286-i-zs5630-and-zs44286-i-zs5640-red-713179.html
But you can always check with manufacturer and other users of the frame!

I remember I read some time ago a nice review from few users in mtbr forum, and i've read positive feedback in spanish forum.
In all cases the buyers had DT Swiss hubs, both 370s and 240s.

@endo.alley sorry didn't answer you before. Actually, i don't know what to say, i have not tried that many bikes. It's my first 29" and it's good handling bike, it's easy to go fast, and on some turns, my front tire wants to skid a bit. Is it because of the tire or because my position or because something else? No clue untill next spring when it will be less cold.
@Silverado123, it's annold move to fake a bit on the geo numbers to maje a product "more desireable", given that Evolve is gaining quite a lot of money per frame, they have to stand out against the chinese direct sellers.
With 160mm , 29" version, RS Revolution, my phones didn't read 65, but 66.

I have 29" version of the 2018 RS Revelation fork, i have no clue the length but must be around this data.
I used the "measure" app.
On a Huawei i got 66° too, so both are in the same range. We are speaking of phones, so i would not bet a single penny on those readings though.

Well, I tried more air pressure along with a tiny bit more rebound to keep things under control and I liked the suspension more today. I didn't have that vague feeling in the rear.
I have a std McLeod shock and air can, and today went from 200 psi to 220psi (I weight 230lbs ready for combat).

Folks,
How would you rate the rear suspension of your P9?
I dont know if it is the design itself, or my shock not matching at all my frame, but when compression is fully open for descents, i have a feeling like a flat tire on the back, getting easily up to mid travel, but getting full travel is quite hard.
The manitou mcleod is quite simple to set, but even though i cant get a good feeling on my suspension.
How does your rear susp feel?

Hey guys,
how are you doing with your P9´s?
Mine is meeting some interesting places in the alps, bikeparks included. Unfortunately my tires are not up to the task when they have to deal against sharp rocks, so next season I'll put aggresive reinforced threads instead of rounded, nimble and light tires. It's hard to have this bike as a 1 for all bike since it's such a pleasure to go downhill with her..... but in Switzerland, it's either a bikepark or a high level uphill to get to those spots!

The feeling about the size is quite personal, and how you like the bikes. I like long ones and my L is ok. Could be longer, or I could have gone for a 50mm stem instead of the 40mm one but overall feeling is quite good. M frame would be too short for my liking.
Ican told me the same, that the P9 is 27'5 and they only offered me those wheels. I ended buying DT Swiss E1900 boost for cheap in RCZ bikeshop- beware, they took 6 weeks from buying to actually receiving them-
The S8 is an XC frame, 100mm rear travel...... no way comparable to P9.

I love my P9.
The suspension is very sensitive, and with the Mcleod on the "closed" IPA, it pedals quite well. It climbs very well, just my legs&lungs are not up to the task.
The geometry is comfortable and the ride is "nimble".
The fixed seatpost with offset is what I had at home. For my home trails I don't really need a dropper, but I will move soon to Switzerland and thus, dropper will be advantage. I will use on bikeparks.
Handling is great. I only have 3 days in the dirt and it has been a lot of trail riding, on twisty slow lines. So far, so good. I love the endless feel of the 160mm Revelation up front.
I installed a protection kit from dyedbro.com and it gives a very nice look for my taste.
I still have to cut the brake lines to correct length, and remove a bit of steerer tube and change the spacer, I believe it's still too tall on the front.
