Sons been riding hos now aince Christmas.  So far no real issues.  Here is a video of him descending dkwn a local trail tjat is generally pretty gnarly.  Probably more suited to a longer travel bike but this thing did the job and he didnt flat or destroy a wheel.

Had the bike weighed 23lb.  Not bad for fs xc bike.  He loves it.

This axle seems to be to short. I tried a 171mm axle one hour ago and it is much to short. The hanger design allows you to see the axle and the thread..
179.. maybe 178 or 177. But I wouldn't go shorter

Had same problem with my sons.  We put a small washer /shim behind to take up a small amount of the length and that fixed it.  Also emailed Wing about this to let them know they need slightly shorter Axel.

He is 14 and in the top 5or so in our state for his age group.  He really hasn't gotten to try it out yet since it's pouring here todaybbut he's excited to get out on it.

Got my sons 909 last night.  Looks great though it looks like shock may be trunion and I thought otherwise but I don't know alot about shock mounting so I will have to delve deeper.  Very clean carbon internals looks to be well made IMO.

I am OK with waiting but my son is a bit ancy.  It's going to be his new race bike and we have collected all the parts. He will just have to stay on his hard tail for a bit longer.

Ordered one of these in the Super Lite version almost 2 months ago I was told it should be delivered in June but now being told that the superlite delivery is being pushed back to maybe October due to engineering issues and frame testing.

My posting the comparison photos  were only to show SC using a flex stay design like many of these other new bikes.  Not to say they were identical.  I have pre-ordered a 909 for my son to race on next season and I'm hoping it serves us well.  A team mate is racing the other model (936) and loving it.

Son 13 races mtb he's getting pretty fast currently riding a motobecane sub 22.  Wanted a Fs bike next season.   Fm909 seems like a great choice.  Another team mate races the 936 and loves it.  Will just have to wait till may or June when it arrives.

Would like to get one of these for my son to race next season.  Is there a group buy?  I have been in contact with wing and I'm about to put a deposit down.
