Title: hardtail trail bike
Post by: gabbia on March 03, 2021, 02:21:25 AM

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a front suspended mtb for trail rides, 120-130mm fork and 67°-68°HA.
There is something from chinese manufacters or aliexpress that can match these parameter?
I can only find front mtb with xc geometry
The alternative is to buy tantan fm799 http://tantancycling.com/index.php?_m=mod_product&_a=view&p_id=864 and install a 120mm fork and dropper, but i don't want to change too much the native geometry

Any suggest?

Thanks all

It's not a Chinese CF frame, but meets all your other requirements.

I had not considered this one.
Look nice.
my only concerne is about the 27.5+ wheels.
if i use 29" instead  the 27.5"x3.0" up to what size of tyre i could fit?

sorry there is no information on that on the homepage
i wrote an email to chris, keep you informed

from my riding experience i prefer 27.5 to 29
it's much more fun and more maneuverable especially in rock gardens

and the design of the 27.5 is much better but thats a matter of taste

i have this frame, i like it but the bottom bracket is crazy low, it just doesn't work with regular 27.5" wheels and even 29er's will be hitting it on any serious downhill trails.

Thanks for the info. Still scouting...
It is quite difficult to find a modern 29er.
