Title: tantan AM 831 - as a trailbike build - or offer me something better
Post by: easyriderZO6 on September 15, 2025, 12:52:10 PM

hey chiners,

is this frame good overall? did they fix all the bugs? how does it climb?

im thinking on building one withe the lyrik 150 mm in the front and a shrter stroke fox dps shock i will take  from my gen 5 trek fuel ex.

with the shorter stroke shock and 150 mm fork it should be more on the poppy trail side (on paper)

While the fixed the fatal flaw it's just not a great platform compared to stuff out of Carbonda and a few others. Just much lower quality to work with in almost every aspect.

If it was between one of those and a gen 5 fuel, I'd be modding my gen 5 fuel.
