I abused this frame and it held up
I give the P9 frame 5-Stars for the value/performance. I ran a P9 frame with a cane creek DB coil i built up in 2021 on trails, enduro and downhill parks across the US. My local trails and DH tracks in Appalachia are rocky and wear on bikes. The frame survived 4 years before the first ridable crack appeared on the frame near the lower rear shock eylet. The second crack occurred a few weeks later in the lower head tube on a local DH track known to eat bikes. It was not a catastrophic crack and i didn’t notice until i felt play in the headtube at the bottom. Unfortunately this was not repairable and put the frame out of service. Based on the extreme abuse i put the P9 through, the average rider could get years more than I did. I just bought another P9 frame to replace it so that says it all. Im confident in this frame and it quality compared to other carbon brands. My only gripe is the internal cable routing could be laid out better. I run my dropper internally and use the port meant for the dropper for my rear brake.
