It’s a rowdy bike for sure. I run a domain on my 958 and I’m considering putting one on my 947 now.

I’m running a 170mm Lyrik 2.1 Charger with the bike setup as a mullet. It’s fantastic when it’s pointed down!

« on: May 28, 2024, 06:25:13 AM »Got my frame today. All lookig good but i will keep my eye on a small defect at the top headcup. Can be that they didn't sand it down there from the manufactory
Not gonna lie I’d send an email on that. It looks more than just sanding

Is there an ETA on this frame? Spec sheet?
Been on my 947 for almost two years now and a 917 for a year and they’re fantastic. This looks like a welcome addition.

Just wanted to pop in and say how great the 947 is. I’ve now owned it a year and have been using it as my designated park bike. It’s been setup as a Singlespeed mullet. 170 front travel 155 rear.

Make sure you triple check the torque on the lower shock bolts.

This is what I named Test Frame 1 (TF1) for the same reason you ask for clarification lol. The replacement front remains on my wall unpainted. Will get around to that off-season, plus have some design in mind on TF2.
The bolts that came with TF1 were not marked with torque specs. The ones that came with TF2 are marked just like they are on my 947. I mentioned this to Wendy and the engineers confirmed it was likely a batch issue.
So as of current I am riding TF1 with TF2 bolts. Torqued to 9.5nm. Haven’t checked since this ride but will update if they’ve become loose.
Frame around the bearings is still solid with no damage other than scratched paint.

Quick update.
Bike is back together. LC is making me new shock mounting bolts (out of steel this time).
I did have a spare set of aluminum that came with the warrantied front triangle so I mounted my shock and took it back to the park.
Really got the suspension dialed in and this thing absolutely rips. It’s a super playful, nimble frame. The suspension feel in the rear is super predictable and ramps up nicely.
I even lent my 947 to another rider who had interest the frame.

« on: October 29, 2022, 02:19:22 PM »IIRC, no. The shock tunnel is too tight. Some piggyback shocks may also not fit if they are typical length (though sideways piggybacks like the DVO Topaz Gen 3 should fit fine).
Yeah doesn’t seem like anyone has tested it. Maybe I should get that topaz I’ve been eye balling
Do we have a list of compatible shocks compiled?
