Hi everyone! Does anyone recognize this frame? It's an unreleased prototype from the Brazilian brand Audax. Since they typically use Chinese OEM (open mold) frames, I'm trying to find the original manufacturer. An athlete is already racing with it, but it hasn't been officially launched yet. Any ideas?

It almost looks like the Light Carbon LCSF980 (also used by the Trinx MTB team) but I think there are some small differences here and there

Also similar to the Hongfu FM358 (Lux Trail copy) but not identical either

Yes, the rear shock looks very similar to the Hongfu FM358, doesn't it? The front part, around the head tube, seems a little different from the Hongfu and more like the Lightcarbon. What do you think?

Hard to say, the first picture seems to show the tool box storage under the bottle, in this case i would say it's the fm358
