XC full suspension frame

[jannmayer]

Both pedaling efficiency are equal and perfect for long rides.
I built the 909 in xc (100/100mm) configuration 9,4kg including pedals and dropper post.
The 936 is my "light trail bike" (120/106mm) SID Ultimate / Deluxe Ultimate RCT (42,5mm stroke), Maxxis Dissector 2.4, 11,8 kg.
The new 120mm linkage for the 936 is ordered :-)
You can also built the 936 as an light xc bike.
My buddys 936 (100/100mm) weights also 9,4 kg without dropper post.
For your pretty warm region two bottles are advantogeous.
The 909 is also capable for 120mm forks.
Summarized: both frames are great!
Sorry for my poor english :-(

 

That's really helpful, thanks! Definitely leaning towards a 909 when my papal situation improves a bit.

IMHO even with 34T you will get quite low AS numbers, so no idea why do you want 36T or even 38T so badly with newer FS frame.
Old Scott Spark was designed with 2x in mind and has higher pivot point from what I see. New Orbea Oiz is optimized for larger front chainring AFAIK.
But I might be wrong ofc and there's always lockout possible.

Your opinion noted, but that doesn't answer the questions in topic...

Scott Spark RC from 2017 is optimized to exclusively work with 1x drivetrains, the non RC models was compatible with 2x drivetrains.

I see an XTR derailleur on an Eagle cassette/chain.
I guess it works well since you did it twice.
My question is why ?

Did you also see the Garburak Chainring on the Ethirteen Crank with zeray pedals 
I love this wild mix 

Sometimes i change the wheelset !

...yes, bust the crank   
So my next question is why not the Garbaruk cassette ?

Wheelset with garburak cassette and continental race sport tires are the lightweight configuration

Hello,

Do you feel the need for a remote for the rear shock with you FM936 ?

I tried without to see, and personally no need with an oval 32

In addition, this guy convinced me it was a European thing :

Well, yes, I guess this is european skinny lycra preference.

Still I am ridding a CVA platform bike full open and trully amazed, but I admit, on fire road, a lock out on the bar would be great.

Before you go too far in your analysis you may know I'm an skinny-euro-lycra guy
