[#10670384]

Looking to do frame swap on my Sonder Transmitter to go from a hardtail plus bike to a short-travel plus bike. I have a C2W voucher so need some inspiration for what frame to get. Must be Boost, take up to 2.6" tyres (2.8" tyres would be better) and have 120-140mm rear travel, long, low and slack (of course). Recommendations?

Aeris 120 will go to 2.6 on the rear

Technically but not ideal unless you want to lose paint, I run a 2.4 on mine and that's fat enough. Great bikes though

Or how about a Sonder Evol?

FlareMAX is a good call. I did look at Sonder Evol but it's probably too much bike at 140 travel. Anything else I should look at?

Orange - I forgot about them thanks Cha****ng! The Four could do the trick. Haven't had an Orange since my C16-R

You say you want long low and slack, but then the Evol is too much? Although it has 140mm of travel it’s not that LLS so you might find that a good option actually.
