Carbon 29er hardtails

I didn’t realise there was a carbon Bizango till I read this. Looks decent for 1k too!

I wonder if they will release a higher end Bokor Carbon as well or better still, a frame only option. If anyone buys one, please let us know how much tire clearance it has.

If anyone buys one, please let us know how much tire clearance it has.

And perhaps also what size you bought, how tall you are and how it feels.

BTW, this is the geometry table on the Bizango Carbon (it’s not on their site), they said there were no plans for a frame only option:

Size S(15in) M(16.5in) L(18in) XL(18in)

HT (Head tube) 100mm 100mm 110mm 120mm
SA (Seat angle) 73 73 73 73
HA (Head angle) 67 67 67 67
Suspenion Travel 120mm 120mm 120mm 120mm
BBd (Bottom bracket drop) 55mm 55mm 55mm 55mm

Chainstays very short!

they said there were no plans for a frame only option:

Did they mention better full-bike options?

Short, but not extremely short. I suspect clearance will be the same as on the Transition, so that would mean 2.4 max, but that’s just an educated guess.

Did they mention better full-bike options?

No, but I didn’t ask either. Maybe there will be a Bokor carbon, I don’t know.

My current plan is to buy the bike and replace most parts one by one.

On many bikes listed above it was mentioned that an angleset was not possible due to the integrated headset. That isn’t the case antmore:

Thought I’d share.
