Ok, I picked up a 2020 Primer 275 near the end of last season. If I had to guess it has somewhere between 150 and 200 miles on it. The last few rides I have noticed the drive side crank arm rubs the chainstay when really putting some power down, primarily when pushing hard uphill.
Today I decided to take the rear end apart to make sure everything was in order with the linkage. I did find the lower link bearings on the frame side were a bit rough and replaced them. There was no lateral play, they just spun a little rough.

The cranks themselves are tight and don't seem to have any play either. It's almost as if the frame is beginning to fatigue and flex more over time.

Has anyone had this issue?

Got it all sorted out. It was a combo of worn linkage and BB bearings. Happened very quick as the bike had only 200-250 miles at the time. By the looks of it the enduro bearings had very little grease from the factory. Made sure to pack the hell out of the new set!

Nope - just a bit of flex in the rear triangle…nbd.
