Three different wheel size configurations, multiple travel options, and various builds all add up to one very intriguing trail bike.
MDE Bikes is announcing their completely revamped 2020 Damper trail/enduro bike. Among the litany of updates is a revamped suspension design, intended to provide greater lateral stiffness and now allow for a water bottle mounted in the traditional downtube placement. The new, I-Link 2.0 has been optimized for mud-shedding and pivots on large, Enduro bearings.
The chainstays have been shortened to 439-mm on the 29er and 425-mm on the 27.5-inch wheeled version. Other geometry updates include a steeper seat angle, now 79.7-degrees, and a slacker, 65.5-degree head angle. A straight seat tube allows for increased dropper-post insertion.
The Damper is available in three different wheel size configurations as either a 29-inch, 27.5-inch or a 29-inch front/27.5-inch rear wheeled setup. Riders can also set up the Damper with 27.5-plus wheel/tires.

Do I understand correctly that there are 2 different frames one for 27.5/27.5 and another for 27.5/29 and 29/29?
It's not just one frame that you can adjust to whatever wheel size you like correct?
