Hey everyone,
I recently heard about the Kozo 1 on the Nero shows dog or fast bike segment. They rated it a fast bike for what it's worth.
Despite lurking these forums for a while I had never heard of this brand/model. I did a search and nothing came up. Supposedly they are the OEM, but who knows.
The specs are decent, T800 (1100g frame only- heavier than I would like), T47 BB, 32mm tires clearance. I like the overall look, especially the hourglass headtube.
To me the back half of the bike looks similar to the VeloVoice or TanTan x38, with a distinctly different headtube/fork area.
From my communications with them on WhatsApp the price is good ($610 shipped to the US with tariffs covered).

I'm not able to find any real reviews of this frame and just wanted to see if there's anyone here who has any experience with this frame specifically, or the brand in general?
Thank you!

i have just received my kozo 1.
ordered on 27/8/2025, received 04/11/2025

Frame seems very nice, integrated handlebar
Shimano groupset 105 di2 - some minor scratches on crank, everything else fine.

Only problem is with the rear wheel which I am sorting out with the supplier, but for now seems very helpfull in resolving the issue.

Nero Cycling on YouTube said its a fastbike when a user submitted his build, and those guys are very very tough especially on Chinese models.

update on this: reported the rear wheel damage directly to the supplier via Alibaba chat.
rear wheel replacement was shipped and received couple weeks later.
Would recommend this seller: https://kozospeed.en.alibaba.com/
