The videos of Colnago carbon fiber manufacture, and the other videos by some of local vlogs left me confused.
Looking closely at the explanation, it is nothing more than technology for molding of carbon fiber. The internal mandrel are made of ethyl polystyrene, making it possible to come out with single unitary frame (unlike the colnago method of pasting together carbon pipes). The internal surface of the frame is smoother and there are less stresses.
The bike which I ordered, an MTB leopard is equipped with Shimanao groupset 5100 (Deore) with 11-42t, 10 speed, remote lock. There are other models that come out with 1 by with SRAM GS.
They also have RB and these will give the high end bikes a run for their money. Many can now buy carbon fiber framed bikes at affordable price. The net price I got for my bike, after deducting the e commerce platform, Credit Card discount is lower than the price of the frame.
The earlier Chinese carbon bikes of yore. were heavy (because they want these to be strong and sturdy) They must have upped their learning curve on carbon technology. I had to sell my carbon MTB because it was heavy. But probably it was sturdy. Its GS was not inspiring.
We exactly do not know what type of mold forms are being used.
(Nothing high tech about the eps - just mold making technique) But marketing game make the whole thing so unique and revolutionary leaving many of us guessing and confused.
But in terms of cost, maybe they can make frames cheaper, and faster and more affordable. And nothing can beat price
Look at their marketing product package too. Early in the game, they are making their bikes so affordable and so attractive. They are also one of the two bike firms that came out with 13 speed. (theirs cost P40K plus ) x by. (The other is Forever alum though at 25K?)
1. It has a remote controlled lock out;
2. It has an air shock;
3. It comes equipped with Kenda 1.95 tires;
4. Hydro Shimano M200 brakes,
5. Shimano changer rd, fd, albeit sunrace cogs.
With 5 years warranty?
