Happy Holidays!
Sign me up as interested as well if you hear anything... Trying to wrap my head around that forum link. ALMOST want to try to message "Playing the dishes of miscellaneous riding" and see if they can help a girl out, as it were.
The upcoming Elilee Blize will have an ultralight 680g variant constructed from a mixture of Toray T1100 and M40X. You also have the Dizo Epic Pro which is constructed from Mitsubishi MR70 and Dyneema. These two won't be cheap and they certainly won't they sit at that 2-3K US sweetspot. According to Elilee, T1100 costs 5x of T800 and M40X costs 10x of T800...you do the math. For reference Elilee's top level EVO XXE triathlon frame retailed at around 4.5K US in China. Finally you have the not-as-high-end Pardus Robin Evo that employs a mixture of T1100, T800 and M40 for its carbon layup.Do note that carbon supply is massively constrained worldwide which means that there is next to no excess material left for no name brands. Since imported material is hard to come by and there are actually export restrictions placed on top level T1100 due to military applications, most open mould makers source their material from Sinofibers who produce T1000 and T800 domestically in China. Sinofibers has small batch T1100 & M40X equivalent material (ZT9 & ZM40X) on top of their recently commercialised T1000 but currently only T800 (ZT8) is mass produced and readily available. Besides Sinofibers, Tianshun produce T800 equivalent material (TS800) and are also working on their own T1000.
Dizo Epic Pro became Dizo Actus. Design changed quite a bit. Bit less aero, 32mm clearance, Dyneema gone, head tube and chainstays totally different, no details of carbon used. They're talking about 'NORC' technology - without specifying what exactly it is.Definitely not one for people who are long of leg and short of upper body, like me. XL is 560 stack and 408 reach, which is similar to the Pardus Spark Evo.https://dizobike.com/bikes/actus/
I'm sure that's a great value, all things considered. But I think I'd rather a SEKA now that they make a 130mm stem-length integrated cockpit.
But if you want low stack, you won't get that with the Exceed.
Looking at the geometry chart, did they draw the picture wrong? 'k' looks like stack-bb drop... If that's the case it's pretty upright.
