Good looking bike, giving some Santa Cruz and Specialized vibes.

Nice looking frame! They’re saying m820 in the title and m510/600 in the description.

It is a bit confusing. M510 is probably correct. It has very similar geometry to LCE930. Front triangle has basically the same geo, but rear center is a bit longer. It is interesting, that they went with some kind of VPP/DW link (whatever you call it) design. I believe that is the first one for ligthcarbon? Looks good.

Cca 1kg heavier frame than LCE930. I hope that LCE930 is strong enough for proper riding, with that 1kg weight saving.

The pivot mechanism might be heavier than the "simple" design of the LCE930, let's hope our LCE930 won't break on the first jump

The frames are now on the Lightcarbon web site

Now only size M past the test, loading time more than 30 days, size L is still on test,
the frames is heavier because the special design for rer shock, just as same as brbr said,
no need warry about the quality of LCE930, even is lighter than LCE971, If we can sell it publicly, it means that this frame has passed strict tests. Many people have received our LCE930 frames and can see how perfect our frames are inside,

Sorry for not replying in time!
That bolt is used to secure the fender. I have already explained it to your purchasing agent, Alice from fieldebikes.
Many of our processing technologies are leading in the country, such as CNC processing at the BB position. Currently, there are only the OEM supplier of Specialized bike and our factories in China.

E10 is unable to fit as the battery case size and connection end points are different. With some tools and add ons, you can get it to fit.

Do you think you could get more rear wheel travel using a 216 x 63 shock?

Option for chain guide ?
