Spotted this over on Instagram, several posts and reels of their testing of the frame on a couple of their pages.  No other details yet that I've seen.

Interesting (i.e. good!) that they are doing tests and sharing the videos before they list it / put it on pre-sale... unlike some other frames recently mentioned on this forum ;p

the link and yoke... like epic brain vs epic evo

I understand, now I see. Now it is clear why it will appear on sale from the Chinese. The old version no longer needs exclusive rights))

yes, then this frame is 100mm stroke

Hi , any idea if it gets 2 bottle cages or not. Looking for a xcm mtb travel 100-120mm travel full sus bike frame , that is really good quality and must have 2 bottle cages. Any suggestions on a frame
Thanks

RC 440 mm...
440RC a bit long for my liking since I am size small maybe medium - longer than my enduro sled in fact.  That looks right for L/XL sizing.  Rest of the geo, looks spot on, except the seat tube is also  tad long, so many need will run a shorter dropper post.  Let's see if it get 2nd water bottle mount and how the suspension kinematics playout.

Why do you say that it'll be 100mm travel? The geo chart you shared (the same one they sent me) specifies 120mm. They're calling it the 121 as well. Looks like it's pointed at being the Epic Evo rather than the Epic.

Zoom in on the picture. Not only does it have space and mounts for two bottles, the down tube mount has three studs to allow for two different cage positions. It could probably take three bottles.

According to the geometry letter that has been published, it is not identical to the Megamo

15,5 frame size, weight 1771g

no flat mount. Is the shape of the down tube slightly changed in the bottom bracket area? Slightly different dropout shape? Modified suspension link?

According to what it says, first size S (15), in two months size M (17).  For size L he didn't say anything, I hope they also manufacture in size 19
