New TT frame from BXT

[treyxt]

@Toxin you were right, we could see it already, Küng raced a prototype TT in the Challenge Mallorca, with the rest of the team on the old frame model.
I'm a bit confused as I that frame and fork needs UCI approval to be used in a race?!?

I believe you can have prototype equipment approved separately, so it might not show up on the UCI approval list for that reason.

They seem to be still in the development phase, and a change in UCI rules made their first sets of molds become something for the trash yard. Escape collective has some veeeeery intesting insights in how costly the development of a top notch TT frame is:

The latter article is about eventa from late August. The design was already basically finalised then, they've had loads of time since.

They also aren't really making this bike to sell it. Like track bikes, it's made exclusively for the pros and will only be on sale because it has to be. Tudor are the ones doing most of the development and footing most of the costs.

No reason it can't be UCI approved.

I found a new frame on Ali.
Looks like a mix from the old Triaero, the scott plasma and the Canyon speedmax.
Simmilar to the new Quick pro.
What do you think?

I contacted them through their website. and He sent me the link to their alibaba site. 1250 for the frame + cockpit, or 850 for the frame alone.

Damn it they already raised the price to 1500 usd or 1250 including integrated cockpit...

I should have pulled the trigger when it was 880 for frame only

I think it´s a lot of money for a non tested frame. Remember that Chinese factories send out products to sell and then use us to polish and correct their mistakes in their newer models.
Maybe wait a few months, and find a sale.
This frame has a lot of "extras" mixed in one frame, but sometimes less is more so I would be cautious.
Anyhow, I really like the looks and if I´m not wrong, the aerobars can be tilted up or down acoording to your needs.
We´ll see.

This is how I feel, I just want a relatively normal frame that fits 32mm tires and has a modern/adjustable cockpit. Nothing crazy and also nothing that is 1500 or 2500 USD.

Has anyone purchased one of these yet?

I'm very intrigued by this frame. I think it might jump ahead of the VB TT023 for me, because of how nice the cockpit is looking!

[rockerplates.de]

Well, still nobody built one yet?
with this price tag, it does not make sense not to buy the 2027 Version of the cube...it comes for 4999 Euros MSRP....if they insinst on this price, the frame is around 1800 Euros whith all costs added...

You can buy the cockpit standalone from BXT.

I think nobody wants to be the first guinea pig.
1st itineration of chinese products tend to have some flaws. And spending this kind of money it´s more than risky.
I couldn´t find any Ytuber unboxing this frameset.
I wonder if they have made more than the model from the photoshoots.

I know, but it wasn’t available separately when I made that post.

a little update from me,

Meinier seems to also have this frame....i tried to reach out and slowly, they are answering....no details, yet but alibaba contact is alive.
i will keep you posted...
i would love to have a frame with totally crazy painting for my next year raceseason, being also our "next top model" for our 3d printed stuff.

[Laurbergsen]

Is it really an untested frame when it seems like it is a 1:1 of the new Cube Aerium and even the inframe storage is the same. Geometry is also 1:1 of the Cube. Only difference I can find is the cockpit.
