Reviews & Ratings
The Soft Tail Frame XC off-road Mountain Frame 29er (Epic WC inspired) is a Chinese-made carbon fiber full-suspension frame available through AliExpress sellers like XFRRYbike and Airwolf. Users report it weighs approximately 20.3 lbs when built with pedals and bottle cages, and costs around $950 including shipping for the frame alone. The frame is praised for its efficient pedaling with minimal bob, good build quality, and clean paint finish, though some express concerns about seller reputation. It uses a Specialized RockShox shock (sold separately) and appears to be manufactured in the same factory regardless of brand name.
