Yes...it looks impossible...better than the lightest frame out there..i am sceptical to given data too...

It can be found on Taiwan factory too, with more data

Looks similar to this one spotted in 2018

Is it just me or is that really short, 612mm for 21" frame?

it's actualy 2.85kg in the 17" size, with the axle
just got one, in the process of making it ready to be built

the frame isn't quite new, by the way, it's been touring the expos since 2018
originally designed by Apex Creative but that company doesn't mass produce frames, they sell designs
it's being sold by Dabomb now as ADV-275 (for 3x the price of Ltbikes), been sold (or planned for manufacturing) for a short while by Lightcarbon as LCFS-712 - I wanted to buy from them initially, but they stopped offering it

Dabomb pictures show a different lower link, though - mine is larger, stiffer (has a second brace below the pivot)

the one I got, assembly quality is underwhelming. The carbon itself seems fine, but some bearing seats are not quite perfect, need new pivot shims because some of the stock ones do not fit very well, lower link touches the frame mid-travel (had to file the link down a bit)




you can ask me if you're interested in any details which are not on the mfg's website

lower link, pivot axle and shims - filed down at the factory, because the sizes are a few .1mm off, you can see what that did to the original shims

paint where there should be none (yes, they painted it with some of the bearings pressed in)

Every other page for this frame says 205x60mm shock, but Alisa from Ltbikes assured me it works with 65mm as well (might not know what she's talking about, though)
will see whether or not I'll have to reduce my Mara's travel to 60mm

I saw this when shoping around for my current bike. I was quite interested but only found Dabomb frames so ditched it. 160mm rear travel right?

I got a Ican P9 in the end but good on you for trying something different. Keep us posted to how it comes along.

Design looks good, but it seems like LT are extremely amateurish as a manufacturer. Shame Light Carbon don't offer it. They wouldn't ship that kind of crap.

It is for a 60mm stroke shock after all (and not 205x65 as LTbikes representative assured me)

yes,please,keep us updated...

I will
it's not built yet - need to make a few parts for the shock (tools, spacer, volume reducers)

I'm assuming LT haven't offered any kind of solution or fixes for the issues?

haven't told them yet
I'll invite them here once it's built and I have the whole picture
