Ahhh that's a good way of describing a black coloured bike LOL

I bought the same bike 2 weeks ago. Have been riding it as much as possible.

@@DarruHando You still get the same top end frame just a more lower tier groupset. Raced on 105 for years, it's just as good as DA with just some added weight to be honest

Just waiting on delivery of mine, looking forward to getting out on the road with it!

@@hansschmidt3144 the bike is absolutely fantastic. I had to send the first bike I received back as the finish was really, really rough. Local dealer was great in sorting out though. This bike is super fast, light. I upgraded wheels to Drive 50D, they're exceptional value for money, and hubs and bearings are really impressive. A8 comes with Di2, so smooth and effortless to use, larger cassette (11-34) is perfect for the hills I ride. Didn't think I'd like the saddle so ordered a narrow, carbon saddle closer to what I'm used to, but it's actually really comfortable. Bar tape is pretty crappy, so you'll definitely want to change that.Overall, incredible value for money, you'll be really, really happy with your purchase. Enjoy!

Nice! More review on the ride quality. Also on the standard wheelset, should upgrade or not.

Yeah I'm definitely doing a follow up video on long term use. As it would be unfair to judge after only a few rides

Nice bike!

Hahahaha indeed brother, black is the way.

I think when reviewing a road bike it's not the hub soundcheck that is important. It's the weight

Fantastic brand from Indonesia, you should be proud.

These wheels are actually rebranded novotech r5s

hallo, i want to ask how much does the original factory helios weigh???? thanks bro

Moving to Malaysia soon. Looking at selling up everything here and buying a whole new setup. Low budget though. How are these Alcott bikes I see online?

Thanks for the review! May I know what is the total weight of the bike w/o pedals ?

Hi Andy, do you happen to get back pain when riding this long distance? How is your feel when riding through mountains?

@AndySaiden

Жыл бұрын

No issues at all for me, climbs comfortably and descends great. Back pain is usually rated to bike fit, if you suffer from that I suggest you for for a professional bike fit. It's worth it

How's the stock wheelset ? heard some feedback saying it's heavy........ if only they offer a bit more color option like the a9x variant.

@AndySaiden

Yup it's heavy, basic but you really can't complain due the price you are paying for. Most bikes with this setup comes with alloy wheels. Here you get deep carbon wheels tubeless ready
