As you may know,I cover ALOT of cheaper bike parts, mainly sourced from places like AliExpress, and naturally most of those products come from China… So what better bike show to visit!
Today was my last day at the Shanghai bike show 2025. It all wraps up at about midday, so I had to be quick, but I still managed to see some REALLY interesting stuff!
A few new groupsets from a brand I’d not heard of called S-Ride, 12 and 13 speed mechanical groupsets, with hydraulic brakes. The shifting was lovely, and the quality of the construction seemed very high. Now word on price unfortunately, but I cannot wait to try them.
I also saw some incredible wheels from a brand called MVMT. They had some mean looking bladed spokes, definitely the widest i’ve ever come across at around 1cm.
The microshift sword groupset was on display, so had a play around with that (although i wasn’t very impressed), I checked out some colourful new chain options from YBN chains, a new carbon crankest from Elilee, but the most interesting booth was a brand called RUFON.
They had some INCREDIBLY nice looking road bike frames, with some fantastic paint jobs. The weights were also quite impressive, and so were the prices. $1,200 is slightly more that my usual fare, but the quality was pretty impeccable, so I’m really excited to get my hands on one!
As always, today I was hosted by the INCREDIBLE Panda Podium team, so huge thanks to them, Shame from GPLama also covered some amazing new bike tech, so check out his coverage, and please check out Panda Podium for some of the best bike parts Asia has to offer!
