I've had mine for 2 full years now and it has held up great! Bearings are easy to get. I've been running it as a mullet with a coil DVO shock and Cane Creek Helm 160mm. I've ridden Banana Peel in Trestle bike park, Whistler A-line, and cross country flat stuff in Austin, Tx. No problems what so ever. Just make sure if you buy one order 2 addition derailleur hangers with it. If you order one by itself it will take 6-8 weeks to arrive.
That's awesome to hear, I just got back from Trestle (not riding banana peel though, lol) and starting to get a little creaking so I've got bearings on the way. I actually keep forgetting to get the extra hangers, but I'm going to order those right now and hope I don't need them any time soon.
The creaking I had was fixed by pulling the seal off of each bearing and packing waterproof grease into them with out removing or replacing them. Also greasing the headset. I’ve never had a creak since then.
@@cbmortonaustin Good info, I'm going to try repacking my bearings tonight and hopefully eliminate the creaking. I am running a 210x55 and I'm glad to have the extra travel for sure. Still considering trying out a mullet setup, but running full 29er right now.
You uploaded this video a year ago! First - really lovely ride! Bice level and fantastic technic. My question is - how is the frame holding for the first year? And what kind of fork do you have?
It's been great, no issues. Still riding it today, and the fork is a Rockshox Zeb 170mm. I picked it because I wanted a really stout Enduro build, but it is a little heavy
Hello, what is your frame size and height please? I want to take the same frame on Aliexpress, but when talking with the seller, I can’t decide on the size My height is 182-183 cm
hi..good day...im planing to try out a coil to my rear p9...wondering how much spring rate you have? im about 188lbs geared up.. im not sure what to get for now but according to online calculator it recommends me about 600lbs or 650lbs...thanks.
I'm almost the same, I'm around 190-195lbs with gear, I'm running a 600lb spring. I have bottomed it a few times on big drops, but it's just about right. I might go for a 625lb spring for the bike park.
Hi i bought a p9 mat black one year ago very happy 700 euros for the frame 350 EUR for the dnm DH fork i modified to be softer 50 EUR merocca m4 front and rear double piston hydraulic breaks ,rear IS a coil shock from dnm 80 EUR .the bike cost me total 1500 EUR frame and parts nothing IS high end but will get better in Time
It was around 10 days total until I had it, on their website you can choose US Warehouse to shop from and the prices will include shipping and taxes. Also ordered the wheels separately a couple weeks later, those arrived in about 7 days.
No issues so far, the bike is very quiet and feels solid over bumpy stuff and big hits, overall the rear suspension feels great. Going to hammer on it over the winter and see how it holds up, right now my only concern is bottoming out the coil shock on big drops and cased jumps, I imagine this is going to stress the rear pretty heavily. May try going with a heavier coil or maybe even an air shock in the rear so that I'm not bottoming out as much. I babied it for about the first 10 minutes just to make sure nothing was going to crack or break, but everything felt great and so I started riding it like normal.
@@chriseggleston8170 i run the dvo topaz air shock on mine and havent bottomed out yet ...id recommend if youve not allready got them on 165mm cranks i ran 175mm for around a month cause it was all i had n pedal hit every rock and root possible 🤣
Great runs on great new bike. Cool lines on Nachos as well. I still need to session Nachos and find confidence on the trail. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, that bike has quite the travel on your suspension!

I forgot to mention that if you put a 210x55 shock on it the rear travel goes up to 157. Just food for thought since your running a 170 fork.

How long did it take for the frame to arrive after you purchased it? Do you know if they have a US distribution or is it directly from China?
It was around 10 days total until I had it, on their website you can choose US Warehouse to shop from and the prices will include shipping and taxes. Also ordered the wheels separately a couple weeks later, those arrived in about 7 days.
Hi, how does it hold up after use of 7 months? Did you have any probs with it?
No issues so far, took it to a downhill bike park for the first time last week and it did great.
Hi friend, I'm thinking of buying the same frame, is it really good and reliable?
No issues so far, nice frame to ride on.
Been riding mine for 2 years now no issues and its sturdy comming from a 103kg guys it held up pretty well. The jump here are usually huck to flat.
How do you feel about this frame? reliable?
