You have to look under the complete bike page. I don't see it listed under the frame only section. https://vmgbikes.com/typhon-enduro/

I wouldn't categorize a 150mm frame as being geared toward XC/trail. But hey, that's another subjective topic. You consider the E10 to have modern geometry. I don't. Different strokes for different folks, and that's fine. We could go back and forth on this at nauseum, but that is...

Again, bike geometry is subjective. OP said he desired a slacker head tube angle. The VMG provides that without tweaking/sacrificing reach or seat tube angle via a 27.5 rear and/or geoadjust headset. If OP desired a steeper headtube on a frame, I wouldn't have suggested the VMG.

The E10 has a steeper headtube angle and slacker seat tube angle.

It's just a cheap ZTTO aluminum side mount bottle cage off aliexpress. Should be less than $10 delivered to USA. The bottle fits but it's a bit tight so it needs a little wrestling in and out. No big deal, it hasn't dropped a bottle yet. I use this same bottle holder on all my bikes.

Compared to the VMG, it's dated. But you're right, "modern geometry" is subjective.

Finally recieved my frame. Assembly was straight forward and I didn't run into any real issues. Chris has been very helpful and attentive during the process. The bike feels great on the trail. The geo feels great. Motor has plenty of power for steep climbs. The battery capacity is pretty...

Check out the VMG Typhon. It's really the only modern geometry DIY frame.

I second what VMG Chris stated. The Typhon is by far the most modern Enduro DIY Ebike geometry wise. I have not received mine yet so I can't comment on anything other than the numbers on paper.

Check out the thread I just created in this section called VMG Typhon discussion. It by far looks like the best frame option.

https://vmgbikes.com/product/e-mountain-bike/ This looks like a great option for those of us that want to start with a bare frame/motor/battery and build our own bike. It's available as a complete bike or frame only. The geometry is very modern. I placed a pre-order for one of these frames in...

Does the frameset include the motor and battery? And will yall ship to the USA?

You can purchase the E10 on Alibaba. They will ship to USA.

Great thanks! The 170mm Brand X dropper I'm eyeballing should work just fine then!
