Lexon "Riot 10"

[RongGearRob]

I just pulled the trigger on Lexon Riot frame, Matte. I got them to throw in an extra hanger.  First time buying, fingers crossed it all works out.  I'll continue to update on how the purchase and bike build goes...

******** Update*********
I ordered from Everjoy Industry Ltd (I know, kind of sounds like a porn name), which AliExpress indicated it was Official Lexon store, but there seems to be another seller also titled Official Lexon Store.  I went with Everjoy because they had a good rating (96) and I could get the frame in matte with the Rockshox Monarch RL shock for about $50 cheaper than if I purchased it separately from the lowest I could find here in the States (hoping this wasn't a mistake). 

The frame and shock shipped within 2 hours of me placing the order.


Communication with Everjoy has been good, I happened to be working late last night when I mad the purchase so it was daytime in China.  They replied to all of my questions quickly and included photos of what was in the package.  So far very pleased with the transaction.

Attached is shot of the frame from Everjoy prior to shipping.

Thanks for sharing your experience rongearbob
I also had an exchange with everjoy, the frame in size L/19 weights 2103 gr.
Looking forward to see your bike soon!

so far it works fine

Caseven, what size frame did you purchase?
The fit of the bottle in the front triangle is pretty tight.

I have one L size in red on the way, shipped on august 31th (slowest delivery ever!! ) and wonder how the Manitou Mara at 165x45mm fit;  @Caseven does your rear wheel run through its travel without any contact with seat tube?

[Caseven]

although it cannot touch it, it is not a bad idea to add a travel reducer. The manufacturer told me that it was possible to mount the Manitou Mara Shock with that travel

[freeride1]

many thanks for the pic! It's safe IMHO, you have enough space to handle some mud
Mine frame will be here in a couple of days, I'll check travel with rear wheel and tyre on, then order rear shock; if everything will work as expected, Deluxe 165x45 and Pike 130 in the front.

Caseven, is a bearing press necessary for the headset on the Lexon Riot?  I'm getting my components ready for the Riot build (once it arrives) and the one tool I don't have is a bearing press.  Thanks.

Bearings just "drop in" into frame, no press required

my frame arrived few days ago...I'm very impressed with Lexon quality overall!
Large size came at 2130 grams with shock hardware (no rear axle )

Let us see the final assembly please!

For sure, but this is my winter project, so it will take some week to be ready for trails!

you need a pair of 2mm x 10 washers to put on each side of the shock head to make contact with the bearings

I just ordered myself this frame in yellow tonight, I got a large. I'm about 177cm, but not very flexible in my back, so a bit larger usually works better for me. It was between this and the fm909. I picked this frame really because 1800 grams for the fm909 in a size large is just scary light, plus, I do like the look of this frame quite a bit.

I have a sidluxe 165x45 trunnion shock, and I'm stoked to see that it will work without having to install a travel reducer. This will be my first "light" build, hoping to end up right around 9.5Kg (21lbs). My other bike is a 34lbs behemoth, and I can't wait to see what that kind of wieght loss will do for me.

Uraberg, Congrats on the purchase and going for your "light" build...I've estimated my Lexon Riot build to come in around 24 - 25 pounds (somewhere around 11K +/- grams) for the large frame.  We'll see how it turns out once I get the frame and all of the components for the build.
