Title: Carbonda FM909-120mm vs HongFu FM358
Post by: HardTail29 on September 19, 2026, 03:23:12 PM

Hey all, I'm trying to decide between these two, they have similar geometry(I'd be getting size M), both are 120mm front and rear. Both have space for two bottles

Which one would you choose and why?

And if anybody has owned or ridden both or either of those, what did you like or dislike about them ?

Thanks!!

hard to tell, the 909 is a little old now, cinematics and geo are not as new as the 358, don't forget though that 909 is an original OEM design while the FM358 is a carbon copy of previous Canyon Lux Trail (so this also no longer up-to-date). As china-lovers XC-ists we are struggling, nobody is investing in XC frames, there's old stuff or badly made clones only. I'll keep my FM936 until it breaks.
