Not sure if it would work but do you think a 210x65 would work on the p9 frame. Thanks

For sure NO - 29" or 27.5+" - upon full compression, the frame might touch, but the wheels will touch your dropped seat.
Questionable - 27.5" - the frame might touch

alternatively if you found a cheap shock, you can shim it to 210x55.

In my opinion - just dish out the money for a good shock off the start. i've spent wayyyyy too much "upgrading" along the way.

Also if you are getting the frame from ican, double check if they offer RS's super deluxe RC3 - it should be about 240€.

PROS:
P9 is a very up to date enduro 29er frame. It compares to many late 2017/2018 29ers from large companies (Norco, Specialized, Giant, Transition etc) Long Reach, Slack, Long wheel base, Good Travel. (If you want XC like, go P8)
Stiffer than Aluminum (Giant Reign) in comparison.
Fast and Stable, Easy to maneuver (compared to my Medium Giant Reign)
Threaded BB
Decent Progression on shock i believe like 28-30%, so Coil is compatible.
32 pounds weight.

CONS:
Not extensively tested so don't know about durability, but you pay for what you get.
Bolts and Nuts are not greased at all. Built in nuts (Shock, Brake Mount) seems like they use a soft aluminum so it may strip easily if threaded wrong or forced.
Bearings generic, don't know how well they will hold up.
Too many internal cabling holes (water will get into the frame).
Lacks Protection (BB, Downtube, Chainstay/Seat stay). Had to install my own.
32 pounds weight.



This is what I can come up with so far. Ask more questions and I can help out.

Where did you source the frame for this build?  I'm moving to North Georgia in the next few months and I'm thinking of building an enduro/AM bike for up there.  This is the first bike of this kind from Chinese builders I have seen that truly interests me.

Got this from www.icanbikes.com. I reached out to the email provided on the website and Melody was easy to deal with via email and responsive.

Been seeing a lot of posts around the 29er forum regarding a modern geometry. My take - none of these china carbon companies has modern geo of full suspension enduro bikes raced in EWS. However this build of mine is the closest thing:


This bike was build 2 months ago. It's currently 66.5 degrees (could be 66). It has boost. It has metric sizing shock. It's running 29s. It's been whistler bike park proven (black technicals, blue jump trails).

I came from a 2016 Reign 27.5 Medium which was smaller and slacker.  I am very happy with with the 66.5 HA with my current setup from riding a Norco c9.1 Large, my issues was that the wheelbase was so long from the slackness+29, i couldn't handle it properly. Turns in and out of berms was on the Norco required a lot of body english, overall just felt it required much more finesse than required. With this p9 as a slightly steeper HA - 66.5ish, it felt right - agile like the Reign, but much longer and much faster.

Specs:

DVO Diamond Boost - 150mm (currently at 66.5 degrees HA - 160mm would make it 66 degrees)
DVO Topaz - 210x55 (22mm bushing top and bottom, 150mm travel)
GX Eagle Drivetrain
Magura Trail Sport Brakes (203/180)
Spank Oozt 345 Trail CX Ray - DHR II 2.4 WT DC (10mm of clearance space)
Giant 150mm Dropper (2017 - internal routing)
SDG Fly Mtn Saddle
Answer SL 780mm Bar
Husselfelt 40mm Stem
Lizardskin frame and Chainstay Protector
OneUp Composite Pedals
Threaded BB 73 (330mm Ground clearance)

What is your BB height with the 29er build?

330mm to centre of the BB

Still don't have it dialed in yet. I know I can get it to feel like a coil which it does now, but I'm bottoming out too often. I do think feel like I am but the sag marker tells me otherwise.

I am totally interested in your 27.5plus setup too, but I have my reserves about why go plus sizing when 29 gets you more volume (not as much as plus but more than 27.5) and faster rolling.
I am basing it off the trails of West coast canada though.
