Did anybody knows a Hardtail Frame with 65deg head tube angle?

I would get a AL hardtail with that head angle assuming you will have 140-150mm fork. You looked nukeproof or ragley?

in my country, there is a brand called Ken's they have a commencal meta ht am clone called Tyrann X1/X2. roughly around 150 - 200 USD, i''m pretty sure it's some generic frame from AliExpress.

The head tube is 66deg, but a little extra travel or an Angle headset can fix that.

You can buy the frame on AliExpress.

Hy Draz,

My point is with that much of front travel you may need a rear suspension, if you want to go carbon.
AL should give more compliance, better suited for long travel hardtails.
You are basically looking for an XC carbon frame with enduro type head angle which should be quite rare.
I have a 65degree AL hardtail and carbon full sus.
As an engineer and a rider, I just don't recommend stiff rear and trail size fork.
Of course thats just an opinion but the fact that AL version offered in that geo is way more common, kinda backs my opinion.

Yes maybe thats the reason i can‘t find any.
