It is a Scott Spark copy for sure, from a reputable chinese brand doesn't mean it is bad quality! I bet it performs and last same as the real deal! Cheers!

it is safe for now guys, I'll update you guys about this if something happens to it, cheers !🎈

My be that it IS the Scott Spark. wouldnt surprise me if the factory had a contract to build the frame for them. Nice vids btw :-) Appreciate you sharing your experiences.

I am totally impressed about that carbon Chinese frame, I have a Scott spark and the frame and geometry are identical (except the price of course)…. Your bike looks amazing…… Great videos bro…..

Nice bike and super nice trail bro! RS and keep safe!👍✌️ shout out here from Brussels, Belgium 🇧🇪

It’s also the supplier for American Eagle bikes, the Flow model. Great frame! Nice build.

i am always excited to see your new video when you upload.

Always awesome Mark!! Keep it up.

Good video!! I've been using Chinese frames for a while, I've never had any problems, here in Brazil it's an excellent option

Love that trail at the end - looks like a hoot!

Love to see the content man keep it up 👍

I have a Trifox carbon hardtail that cracked on the drive side chain stay. I contacted Trifox and they asked for photos. I sent them the photos they asked for and they replaced my frame. So they do back up their products.

Love the bike,bro living in florida currently using a hardtail i want something like that.

So I bought the same wheelset (think I mentioned that I got the same problem with the hubs as you did). Recently, JGBike has made a new hubset and it's an exact fit for that wheelset. Had my LBS check it out and we were pretty impressed with how smooth the bearings are and how good the engagement is. Still within my first 100mi so only time and trails will tell how good it is over time. But if you can, look it up. Very nice and cost effective hubs for those WTB rims. 6 pawls, 104 engagement.

I think it’s a dc scott spark copy. Been waiting for this review. Nice!

matagal na akong naghihintay! mahusay na video 👍

Good content. Nice camera work. Nice sound. Good narration. Nice job man. Good shite. "Comment down below" had me laughing.

I agree that everything breaks... even your heart. lol😂 kiddin! hahaa. anyway, Chinese carbon brands seem to progress just like Trifox, Ican Bikes and Lexon. Saw plenty of good reviews from forums, aliexpress and alibaba that they provide promising bike experience. I've heard that they actually produce frames/parts too for other brands. Nice update on your mfm100 trifox, looking forward to see more of this on trails :)

I’ve heard from someone that big bike companies buys the design from bike manufacturers and brand it as their own. This saves them the r&d and earns tons of money. That may be a scott spark.

yo dawg, you're good. People are haterz but you really can't find significant amounts of cracked chinese bikes anymore than production MTB. I've been riding mine for almost a year and I've gone through wheels, cranks, and tires, but the frame is rock solid. Keep on keepin on dude!

Nice video Mark! Can you please share what are the details/sizes/etc. of the mounting hardware for the rear suspension? Thanks!

Nice and helpful video. Thanks!

Most of the big name bikes are made in china.

Bad ass looking bike man!!

Was wondering how you were getting on with is. So far so good. I guess It's the same as everything, the frame going to have limitations and as long as you don't exceed them it should be fine

Rumor is that some of those China carbon factories that produce major brands (like Scott) secretly use the same molds to produce off market frames they sell out the back door without permission of the major brand. Or that when a major brand shift’s manufacturer plants the old plant keeps the mold and continues to produce the frame as an off brand. This frame could possibly be from a Scott spark mold but produced and sold as a grey market off brand.

Sick bike 🔥

I'm sure they are the factory that builds the Scott Spark. It's a very nice bike.

Trifox seem to be a fairly reputable Chinese brand from all accounts

Awesome built😍

hey man, great video. but just curious where is this park u went in the video footage?

Which park did you showcase in the video? Looks fun!

I bet you'd feel the xc geometry by lowering your cockpit just a bit and having an 80 or 90 mil stem with a negative 17 rise and a straight handlebar with a 6 or 9 degree backspeep. That would be prety awesome and would definitely feel like scott spark. The way I see it it looks more like a scott ransom with a 100 mil travel fork and with that cockpit setup👌 Either way, awesome bike brother! Much love from the Philippines mabuhay!🚵‍♂️🇵🇭

That forest looks fun to ride in

You must check out the ICAN P9 150mm frame

Graham Swamp and Mala Compra are two of my favorite places to ride, even tho I live right by Santos/Vortex.

nice review erp .kahit nga big brands may sabit padin hehe ride safe tropa :D

Good night Mark! Would you recommend purchasing this Trifox frame? Here in Brazil we already had one that broke in the saddle tube and is the only one that I have news of.

Nice bike, Mark! But im still inlove with your specialized hardtail 😍

Sharp looking bike brah,

Nice video, thank you. And how is the frame today? I got a Lexon and still waiting it gets to Brazil, but I hope it doesn't make my face hit the dirt 😂😂😂

I bought a carbon seatpost thats come with titanium bolts under 130 grams from Aliexpress,yeah i was worried but had great reviews.Now 9 months later still holding up great way worth the 18 bucks for it.Try to get any name brand carbon seatpost itll cost uou easy over a 100 bucks.

Yeah, like everyone agrees, looks like a Spark. Happy for you, man. About the down country vs. xc question, if you use a slightly longer stem (if the reach works for you) you might have a little more agility on the climbs. 💪😎

So basically a nice xc bike, the only thing that I would change is that I would put RS Reba or Sid in the front

Hi sir. I also plan to wrap a bicycle number from China, but there is a little worry about other equipment to make a complete bicycle.

i think they got the geometry from the scott spark

Do you know what the head tube angle is on that thing? I'm curious if it's the same as the spark.

Awesome Vids Bro, I'm inspired and will build me a bike (2nd bike) from this Carbon Frame. Any tips and trick or something I need to look out for when build this?! Can you also tell me a little bit about all the Parts you used?! Kind Regards Randy

"Is it a Scott Spark?" Yes, but No. 😂

saw on the vid you used xoss cycling computer but changed afterwards any review?

My first bike I built up was a chinese carbon frame, the workswell 062 which has really good reviews and it seemed all good but it really wasn't, the amount of frame flex at the bottom bracket was unreal!! it also developed 3 small cracks after just one year of riding on easy trails with no crashes. My next frame I purchased was a real 2017 Scott Spark RC 900 HMX and it came with the fox nude shock, the fox 32 step cast and the twinloc lever, I got it used for $2100 2 years ago. I can say for sure this Scott frame is absolutely amazing, stiff in all the right places, robust for its weight, perfect tolerances. My suggestion to people is spend the extra money and try to pick up a real scott spark frame. The carbon fiber layup process is very important to the performance of a carbon frame and there is no way this chinese company is actually replicating that procedure same as Scott, they are just make the frame look the same. With all this being said im sure the chinese frame is fine and will not explode underneath you but dont expect it to perform as good as the real Scott frame and I would be checking it for cracks more often then a trusted brand

Modern down country bike is 65ish head angle and 130mm or so fork

It does have a lot of similarities to a Spark for sure, but once you start looking at the details then you can see it's not the same. Definitely not the same mold if that's what you were thinking. Great budget build though for sure!

Hey bro can you pls upload more pls your y favorite youtuber

That's a nice Bike bro

rear triangle by the axle is very different from a Scott spark, oncluding the models from 2017-2020

Nice sir! parang Giant stance na inverted yung rear shock...

Nice brothers👍

That's Tillie!

Ninety-five percent of all carbon MTB frames are made in China and/or other Asian variants. And all carbon frames can crack...not matter the brand. If you have the build and maintenance skills there really isn’t a down side to buying an off brand frame.

nice bike, nice trail

This is my first time on the channel! Where are you riding in this video? It looks like Florida, if so I really want to hit it. Looks sweet!

This frame is Winning world cups

Hey I would definitely recommend getting the *manitou r7* damper kit for this fork it makes them more adjustable plush and sensitive 👍

Go for it. Most carbon frames and other carbon components are made in China already. I bet the people who make the cheap Chinese brands also make them for the named brands using the same materials molds and dies.

I was so close to buy that frame but have doubts about hardware but most of all... no remote control for the shock (unless a great deal of aditional money) Your bike looks really nice, you should try 120mm

trifox has the tru-axles on thier site btw

Suspension design/kinematics is close to the Spark RC😁

Where did you get the frame ? Please , it's cool I know

Love your videos from the Philippines 🇵🇭

They build it on a Scott Spark mold, but not using the same carbon, neither the same manufacturing standards, resin, etc. That's why the original Scott Spark frame is almost half the weight of the Chinese version. But I'd guess that the Chinese version is probably even stronger, since frame walls are thicker, in exchange of a better compliance and flexibility where it needs to flex.

Can you give us a longterm durability update please?

Own an OG-Evkin chinese carbon hardtail frame and wheelset, paired with GX groupset, oval 36T chainring and Lord it's killing anyone who joins me in trail or even road. about 300km logged since Chirstmas last year and still feeling really good about it. Hope it lasts for years.

The difference is Cannondale have a lifetime warranty. Got a 7 year old frame replaced with new.

If it has the same geometry as the spark then at least we know it has good geometry I almost bought a frame just like yours

Thinking of this cloned frane. Its cheaper to build this for a XC application.

I think that bike is more classified as a “trail” bike. It has a slacker head tube, typically 120-130mm of travel, and is targeted for fun and playful trail riding. XC bikes typically have a steep head tube angle, 100mm of travel, and is targeted to XC racing. 98% of people who say they ride XC are actually doing trail riding and would be better suited with a trail bike. I’ve seen your riding on the channel and your definitely more of a trail rider than XC racer. This bike suits your riding style better. Really nice bike.

I’ve had a Felt, a couple specializeds, a SantaCruz and they were all made in Taiwan or China. I would be interested in what bike frames come out of the same shop as the name brands.

This is unlikely but this could be made in the same place and just painted differently

Ohhhh!

It looks like a scott genius

Question… where is that? I live in Florida and would be awesome to know…

Probably the manufacturer of the Scott frame and it didn’t meet quality control for Scott. What are they going to do, throw it away? I don’t think so.

Can you make any update on the chines frame Trifox?

What the crown race size for mfm100, i purchased the frame and wanted to purchase parts ahead of time

Nice bike. Классный велик получился.

Behest to many China and Taiwan is where most bigbrand bike frames come from. I got a original Shimano chainring that broke 4 teeth just after 3mos.

Hi! How is your frame now? Is everything Ok with it?

Some people say Trifox is producing carbon bikes for some Italian big names. Idk if that's true

No is just based on a modern xc bike that ride like a trail bike but still climbs.

hows the frame holding up???? im very interested in buying this

Are we sure it's a copy and not the original scource for Scott ? Anyone have thoughts post em up so I can learn .

Most Chinese carbon mountain bike frames are pretty cheap, but some cost an arm and a leg.

my buddy has a base model scott spark. exactly the same

I believe these frames come out from the same factory. There is also a chinese no name version of the stumpjumper on the market.

Has anyone had experience with one of those rigid mtb forks from trifox, suspension adjusted. I want to replace my old hybrid bikes lame suspension fork.

Hey dude, this bike looks awesome, do you think if the frame will fit and work well with 120mm fork? Thanks.

My SantaCruz Bronson CC with the best carbon fiber frame you can buy from Santa Cruz says made in China...

Hey how is this been holding up for you I got a polygon d7 2022 based off your recommendation about a year ago and have loved it but not been quite happy about how far forward I stit on it and was thinking it might be cool to swap to a full carbon frame 😀

MC, sounds like you may have some doubts about this frame. Trust your gut. Unknown manufacturing history or quality consistency? Safe riding.
