Help me ID this hot red MTB?

As much as I'd love to be it carbon, i'm getting a metalic ping throughout the bike.

hi, just a guess, i think you may not be able to identify a proper brand or manufacturer, but there had been mid nineties quite many of those Carbon-Monocoque-style sold, often by no name brands.

Just as an example, this Bike called Trekking-Fox looks pretty similar

With that, also the Tehava name makes sense, they might have been the distributor or even owner of the brand "Fore", or someone trade company was behind "Fore" and used Tehava as source or retailer.

I have this same exact Trekking Fox! Great bike but too big for me. I never been able to find much info on it, it came equipped with full XTR M900 and was purchased in Panama. Do you know anything else about them?

the Taiwanese company is called ETW cycle engineering and supply,

I'm not even sure if they had been the producer of the carbon frame. A bit like nowadays at Aliexpress, numerous companies offer obviously one and the same product.

They had also a full suspension bike in 1995 and according to this ad a team


The name shock works was used for a few years for suspension forks too, but not sure if there is an clear relation.
