sorry for my English, i am Malaysian, bear with it

here i gonna share my build that finish last week, and been participated a DH competition in malaysia mersing,
frame size is M size

Parts :
FOX 36 grip 2 160mm
FOX float X2
Formula CURA 4 4 piston brake
(gonna change to deore 4 pot due to compatibility to frame and deore 4 pot is the best brake and value in my humble opinion)
Shimano m9100 rotors
MULLET setup: entity SLX 29/27.5 (from polygon T8/7)  gonna try LC rim when the bills pile up
Shimano deore 1x12 CS
Shimano deore FC crank
Shimano XTR RD
Shimano pro 50mm stem
Shimano pro handle bar
Shimano pro seatpost
FOX transfer 175mm dropper (not recommend it, too long even with 180cm height)
vinyl wrap Mazda soul red but turnout it more like a charry red

I did printed out the mudguard that shared by Tjhosan to see is it fit float x2,
however it is a blind section, i guess it is ok, as i survive 2 feet drop and huge road gap without cracking the mudguard..

geometry is superb, came from polygon t8 L size 29er user, this bike felt light to control on air, fun, rock garden section became so much controllable compare to T8

to the dropper length, 175mm dropper definitely is a huge NO for m size frame, i barely use 125 of droppers travel, and i am a 180cm height person
the 130mm insert is not enough to make the dropper comfortable either climbing nor moving in the air.
gonna change to 150mm dropper, and i guess it will be perfect as it will lower down at least 25mm length at retreated position.

Be careful with that X2. It doesn't fit the frame, I returned mine because it was touching the frame.

The build is finally finished!

Oy.... I just checked and it is indeed hitting in that spot. When I asked, last November during purchase, they told me that if the shock was 185x55 it would fit. The website didn't detail that the x2 will not fit at the time either

Should have done my due diligence to double check the fit after I put pressure in the shock (installed it with the shock aired down).

There's no way these large diameter shocks will fit unless the pivot is re-designed to be a little longer.

It's a shame really,... it's an enduro frame that can't take any enduro shocks.

Is there any damage on your frame?

My frame has a slight crack in the UD paint, nothing serious. Should I ask for a partial refund for the damage?

Do you also have a medium size frame?

Yup. That is a Fox x2. It fits within the frame and has about 2-4mm of space on the sides. The back sticks out a bit (<1mm) so the cover, for the rear tire, does not fit. I intend to remove some material on the cover so that I can re-install it.

Got my frame and X2 shock. It touches the frame when at full extension..... It's fine when sagged, but when unloaded there is definitely contact.

How does it ride?

I have recently built up a medium size lcfs947 and encountered this play, at the lower shock mount, when lifting up the bike. I can actually feel/hear this play when descending rooty and rough downhills. Has anyone else encountered this and come up with a solution?

Are you running a Fox Float X2? Does it fit?
