Fastwork NEW Enduro Frame (167 rear Travel)

[adri]

Hey I found this new Metal Frame from Fastworks (not sure if Himalo makes them)

It appears that they made some improvements, like bigger bearings, a more stable axle in the linkage, and thicker parts on the frame.

I just wanted to show what I found and ask how your experience is with the company. ( I really like the color)

Looks pretty interesting to me. I'd like to learn more about it.

When looking at this frame on Aliexpress I see a link for another aluminum frame that has the shock connected to the down tube like a Jeffsy. It says the seller is Greenrider
Store. I'm really interested in that frame too. Wonder how these two frames compare.

You mean this ?

Yea, I am interested in the frame too. It even has 2 yoke links, one for 210mm and the other for 220mm (eye-to-eye shock).
I do not know if the geometry on the link is even the correct one.
How much travel each link has is still a mystery.

that second link you posted is the Winbo Cooyes CY-6 which appears to be the newer version of the CY-5, and it is also about us$170 more, I have been looking at the cy5 for a very long time but I haven't been able to get it yet. It has 155 rear travel instead of 162 and i dont know if it has that same two length shock mount. If anyone knows more about Winbo bikes I haven't been able to find anything at all besides that so, please let me know.

cy5 link: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806549616291.html?spm=a2g0o.home.0.0.403a76dbLp4hky&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt

this is my first post, by the way, i have been trying to research the cy5 and i found this and thought it might be helpful for me to learn more about it.

Both the 5 and 6 look pretty good to me

The first link has better geo imo

I’m noticing that the cable routing on the horizontal shock frame looks iffy. The dropper routing is a little funky but the rear brake (and possibly the shift cable) routing seems to run outside the frame for a long distance without much if any clips holding it in place. Seems like a recipe for rattle and annoyance but the pictures aren’t quite high res enough to tell for sure.

Weight of both frames is on the high side, but I don’t look at enough alloy frames to tell by how much.
