Title: New OG-Evkin full suspension frame. Thoughts?
Post by: lilbigmacky on October 20, 2021, 07:08:37 PM

OG Evkin has had their hardtail frames for quite a while but they have added a full suspension frame to their aliexpress store.

100mm rear travel XC bike, 2300g, 68.5 degree head angle, $830 USD.

Seems pretty similar to the Scott spark RC (the older model not the one with the hidden shock). Has routing for dropper and rear lockout which is nice, but has a press fit BB which isn't ideal.

2.3 max tire size is a bit old school sadly

This looks like a real nice frame. However they keep using freakishly long seat tubes. Its annoying.

The geometry is like 5 years old already compared to the latest trends :(

68.5 head angle is much more old school, but they have rather interesting design of rear post mount. Haven't seen such constructive solution before.
