29+ & 27+ / 2017 27+ Dengfu FM006 (Scott Spark RC 900)

This frame is nearly identical to Dengfu's M06 29er frame. The ETT is slightly longer and the rear triangle is Boost with room for 27.5+ tires up to at least 3". They're still working out the geometry for the other sizes. (The name designation may also change.)

The geometry in 17.5 and 19.5 is identical to Scott's 2017 29er Spark RC. The racing Spark that Nino uses, not the regular Spark 29er or the Spark Plus 27.5+,

+ Boost
+ One-piece rear triangle
+ Very light (1850g)
+ Internal cable routing
+/- Aggressive reach:stack ratio
+/- Single-pivot suspension design
+/- Low bottom bracket for 29er wheels
- Very low bottom bracket for 27.5+ wheels
- A total unknown for frame rigidity at the claimed weight

Scott specs a 100mm fork for the Spark RC. It may be that the best 'trail' configuration for this frame employs 29er 2.4"+ wheels and a 120mm fork to minimize pedal strikes.
