Went for a ride this afternoon and took a photo of the water bottle clearance - It appears using an adapter will allow for room to carry a bigger bottle.

Thanks for the picture, and yes, seems pretty tight but feasible.
As I really like to ride without a backpack, I need space on the frame for water and tooling.

why don't you consider bxt 077?

I don't like too much the geometry, specially the chainstay length.
But for the price it's very good.

Here's my experience so far with my Lexon Riot:
- I can fit a 24 oz (709ml) water bottle using a Specialized side entry cage and it is pretty tight at that. You may be able to fit a larger bottle with a cage mount adapter so the cage can move further down the downtube. I don't know this for sure. I'm looking to get a waist pack to carry more water and tools - so far I've just jammed an extra water bottle, multitool, snacks, etc. in the back pockets of my cycling jersey. If anyone has recommendations on their solution to carrying tools and water please speak up.
- I'm 6' (183cm) and the Large fits me well, I'm using a 50mm stem.
- I'm running a RS Reba 120mm fork and ride mostly flowy trails with some punchy hills. I like the extra travel and no issues with handling or climbing.

I've got 325 miles on the Lexon Riot and it has not disappointed, it has met all of my expectations and been fun to ride.

Thanks, but bad point for the bottle.....My heart balance between the Riot, the FM 936 and the Genius.

Hello guys, just three questions:
- how does it work with one bottle? can it handle a big one (750ml)? can we have 2 bottles?
- I'm 182 cm tall, did a L is Ok for me?
- Should I go for a 100 or 120 mm fork? (should be a SID SL Select)
Thanks

Hello, I need your help!
I have a project to build a 29” carbon bike. But I have difficulties to choose the best frame. My target is to have a light & reliable bike for XC working with 100/120 mm travel fork.
For light I mean below 1200g for a hardtail and below 2150g for a FS (without shock).
The first choice would be a hardtail one and my heart choose the Airwolf YFM026 one, it’s light, beautiful and not too expensive. Any notable issue with this frame? Any other idea?
As nowadays I’m riding a 27.5” full suspension frame from Carbonal, I would prefer a full suspension one, but the choice is really not easy:
-   Carbonda FM936: looks nice but I’m afraid it’s not very stiff.
-   Lexon Riot: looks gorgeous, but expensive and seems a little bit heavy
-   Lexon Genius 2022: looks lighter than previous one and more XC oriented
-   Lexon 258: but not sure of the geometry.
-   OG EVKVIN CF080: looks really nice but there’s not too much feedback on the web.
-   Any suggestion?

XXX thanks for your help and support.

The Airwolf is nice (looks like a Santacruz).
You have also this Lexon: https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005003197389194.html?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_groupList.8148356.15.72ec7d50ZcyR5t
but shipping cost is "oups"
also the OG Evkin:

well, I'm still happy with my Riot purchase, but seem to be a bit unlucky by now...suspensions arrived on wednesday, put the RS Deluxe Ultimate onto the frame and found that Lexon Official Store sent me a wrong couple trunnion bolts!
M8 instead of M10, so now I have a spare for rocker arm linkage bolts
They promptly shipped, meanwhile I've ordered a Vitus frame spare
Other than that I found my bottom bracket a bit out of tolerance; was really hard to screw-on BB cups, so I stopped and take it to a friend's shop to file it. Never happened such a thing in 20 years

By the way, I was able to "assemble" the bike and get an idea of what it will turn.
