Magene QED 12spd groupset showcased in Shanghai

[Tilmanstoa5ty]

I'm almost certain that Magene and Geoid are the same company. Exactly the same products with different branding and you can buy Magene products in the Geoid store on Aliexpress. In addition to that the standard response to customer reviews are exactly the same on Magene store and on Geoid store.

And home trainer xD. I wonder how much Magene is doing in house against how much they use subcontractors. I find a lot of their product is similar to Geodid for example and a cheaper variant of their home trainer is offered by Decathlon.

New China cycling video shows that Magene is the manufacturer.

Does someone have new information about the release date of the QED electric groupset?
Just heard nothing in the last few months…

My town’s local bike shop has a bike with a Magene QED groupset.

That RD looks heavily inspired by Shimano Di2

Yea, it's pretty much the very same system as Di2, with a battery inside the frame. Not sure if you can make it look different.

Looking at those closeups, i doubt it will come to market outside of china. There have to be some patent infringement somewhere in this groupset.
Even the cable holddown on the rear derailleur is the same as with shimano. They even copied the details. The body of the front derailleur looks very much like shimano while the rear derailleur is somewhat different in the shaping, but man, if you would slap on shimano logos, few would question its origin.

If what you said was true it wouldn't be available in China either.  Ask WT how getting too close to functional elements of of GX Eagle AXS went.  I don't think Shimano have any blanket patents.  It's obviously intended to look like Shimano, but Shimano can't do anything about that.

Weight vs 105s

Is that an auxilliary button marked on the inside?

Weight vs 105s

curious why the comparison with 105 11s mech. It would be more impressive and relevant to compare against 105/Ultegra Di2?

but anyway, very impressive weights. The group is actually lighter than Ultegra 12s Di2. I hope it is priced around 105 fdi2 pricepoint. At that price, I am willing to try it out.

the most important thing is that it is reliable

I dunno man, Ltwoo is also looking very similar to Shimano and yet you can get it in Europe.

I really hope they will release this soon worldwide, would really like to try it out ... if the price would be competitive of course

You could have gotten it in europe if LTwoo actually made an effort to sell them. They just didn't give a shit about the few dealers that were interested so they all stopped trying.
