New M820 frame from Seraph/TanTan, the E67.

I asked the seller if I could install a 200x57 shock absorber with a spring as in the photo. I was told that this is not a problem, the main thing is the right size. Do you think the seller is cheating or doesn't know?

I'm not sure if that will fit. The Fox Float X2 does not and even the Fox Float X will interfere with the frame top tube.

Temon10 has what looks like a Fox DPS shock installed so maybe that is close to the maximum diameter you can run??

The manufacturer is in no hurry to correct its mistakes.

I think the seller means that running a coil shock will be no problem, as long as it fits the frame.

I got the top tube modified to give it more space for a coil shock. It clears the frame but I did scratch the top a bit during installation. View attachment IMG_4813.JPG View attachment IMG_4815.JPG View attachment IMG_4821.JPG

Currently, it's a stock battery but I will do a DIY battery when I get some of the newer 5.8Ah cells. For me I didn't mind doing the modification as I had already had a bit of damage in that area from using a Fox Float X2 with the large air can. I had it repaired and modified at the same time. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with a new frame of course.

I only have one ride on it so far and it performed quite well. This frame definitely feels more like a trail bike and less enduro but it's also more fun and spritely.

temon10, have you tried testing to see what range you can get with your full DIY battery on boost?

Wow, that's an epic ride! What is your S setting set to in %? I so used to riding my m560 bike so I need everything to be in boost all the time. I'll definitely need to get on making a DIY battery.

Bafang m820

These numbers are beyond my comprehension. I use like 60% of my 480Wh battery to ride 45km with similar elevation, all in E/T mode. How is your 43% even possible, do you have some super strong legs and constantly ride > 25kmph disabling the power assist? I change factory setting with besst...
