26er & 27.5 (650b) / Re: DNM rear shock anyone?

I'm interested in knowing if the DNM rear shock is any good. I see the Lexon Riot has it as an option with a remote cable lock out.

Let us know if it is good or not......

How does the Tideace FM-XC191 stack up to the bikes mentioned in this thread?  I see that the seller has a great promotion on it right now.

Thanks guys. Something to think about.

I too have watched the Pink bike Downcountry videos and as such have stroked the Canyon Liv off my list.

It seems like the Rocky mountain Element and the Trek Top Fuel were the clear winners on Pink Bike. (The Trek choice may be scrutinized by some as the sponsor of Pink Bike is Bontrager.) Never the less Trek does make a quality product.

If any of you are up on geometry do you know off hand which bikes have a similar geometry to either the top fuel or the Element. I do get that the Element has to position that adjust.

Looking forward to reading the replies.

All,

My current Mountain Bike is a early 2000's hardtail Devinci. I've been mostly road and gravel riding the past few years. I'm now looking to build a new full suspension XC bike. Looking for max 120 mm travel front and back. Something light enough to do a couple of xc races or 8 hour races with.

I keep hearing the term new geometry. I understand how bike have evolved but not sure I am up on all the nuances with XC mountain bike geometry.

Can someone explain which bikes on Aliexpress have new geometry?

I was thinking of the following bikes. The Lexon Riot 10 , The Trifox MFM 100 or the Carbonda FM 936.

Looking forward to some feedback.

Thanks  Mark

One more question reference fork offset.

Which fork offset would be best for this bike in size medium 44 or 51?

Thanks in advance for the anticipated reply....

Other than a few grams what the difference between the light and super light frame?

I'm 5'9" and 200 lb's. I don't care if the super light frame is 200 grams lighter if it isn't as strong.

Pardon if this question had been asked before. I did query to see if it was answered and didn't find anything.

Thanks in advance for any answer....
