Hey guys I just found this bike on AliExpress....been trying to research non carbon frame builders to do a custom design...but this showed up.. Anyone knows anything about them

I just found this on AliExpress:
$1,073.34 | 29er Full Suspension Mountain Bike Frame Durable Steel Full Suspension Frame 150mm Travel 29inch MTB Bike Wheelset
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256809909523953.html

I'm very interesting buy this frame too

information who I found on this frame

This looks really good but whats going on with the price you postet of around $1000? For me it's 450€ which would be around $500. Tariff problems?
Can't really find any info on shock size but it's probably 210x55
Also what does this little flipchip at the lower shock mount do? If it changes leverage ratio that would be cool.

btw. check out Marino Bikes if you want a custom frame

i have checked marino but i want a fully custom design based on my layout....and also my brand name.....

I can't imagine that using a different brand name would be a problem as they've operated as an OEM in the past and probably still do.

this is the shock specification

Looks like this bike made by Timetry

Besides showing up at ChinaCycle2025 can't find anything else about it.

Yes it is the same 

Yo,
did anyone buy this frame? Do you think it's a real product?
I'm kinda interested in buying this frame as all my current components fit and i like the external cable routing.

I'm also very keen on buying one of these, but I'd love to know if anyone else has already.

The paint on the Vital frame is lovely. Shame that colour isn't available on Aliexpress.

I would like to buy but I don't find the sadle insertion length

This frame is also available on TaoBao (https://click.world.taobao.com/_b.Qb23Qo) with international shipping to NZ, at least.

I just found out that the TaoBao Android app has an English-language interface so I will probably purchase from there.

Right now, only the size small is available, but they will restock the other sizes after Chinese New Year.

The small frame with the non-CNC rocker link is only $650 NZD / $385 USD, including (sea) shipping to NZ, which is pretty crazy. The medium frame is $100 NZD more expensive. They also have a flex-stay version available for a bit more money, but there's no pictures of it.

I asked about dropper post insertion on the medium frame and they said it should be 200-230mm so I guess a 150-170mm dropper might be possible depending on your height.

I also asked if the red colour shown at the China Cycle show would be available and they said they have no plans for it 

I've attached a couple of images of the flex stay frame.

What do people think of this vs the traditional 4-bar? I guess it's less maintenance and weight, but I'm unsure of how it would ride and whether it might be at risk of cracking.

The [Reeb SST](https://reebcycles.com/collections/bikes/products/sst) has a similar design, but it's a shorter travel bike.

wow thanks for the additional info. Kinda sad about the red color but i'm more interested in that green one anyways.
Dropper insertion lenght seems to be kinda bad. just for reference, OneUp 180mm is around 260-270mm maximum insertion. So you will not be able to fully insert the seatpost.
I have never seen a flexstay on a bike thats advertised as 150mm travel and i would go for the traditional design tough steel is basically made for this type of application.

thanks for update, I think I choose the frame with 4bar linkage
