Yoeleo ZEN RS

[bigApple]

Everyone is now competing in the All Out Aero road bike category 

But again... shitty seat tube angle.

3k USD for the SL version is crazy imo.
It has similar specs to the VRT but for over 1k more, I don’t get it.

[Dark17]

Yeah at those price point I would just get the VRT + a wheelset from XMCS or just wait some good deals from western brand frames.

[KuBiDrugar]

The new Mentech Arch Sport would be the better alternative, I believe it's sub $1,000USD in China.

The pictures are either AI or 3d renders, almost certain.
Yoyolele frames for 3k will never not be funny.
That said, kudos for making an aero (looking) frame with 35C clearance. And they do sponsor some teams, so that's good for these teams too.
I like how Chinese sellers try random pricing schemes without any basis, just to see what works. The brownian motion of Chinese pricing strategy. It's funny.

[patliean1]

Influencer pricing at $2500. Offering a new frame $1000 more than what folks are used to is insane work.
And Yoeleo isn't great about fulfillment times either. Website says 4.5 months (February 1st 2027) but don't expect this in the hands of customers until early Summer 2027.

But man...the geometry in a size large is PERFECT for me. At least on paper. Longer wheelbase, front center, and effective top tube. And I wont need to run my usual 15mm of spacers. Or a BBC stem.

That 79mm BB drop though. You better be running 165 or 170mm crank arms with 32-35c tires

My bike has 70mm bb drop and I run 165mm cranks and I still get pedal strikes lol. For sure this will not work when I race in my local circuit with 6 90 degree L curves and I've seen accidents there involving pedal strikes

Thank god almost all of the new Chinese releases can be instantly crossed off the list just by looking at the STA.

Dang LoL

Pretty much makes this frame unusable for crits which is disappointing. Yoeleo is probably just retooling a TT frame for the road. But their T21 TT frame only had a drop of 65mm. That's the only explanation I can think of for the randomly extreme BB drop.

Maybe I'm wrong.

wow they really copied the geometry to +-1 mm

[Sander2177]

I would wait to see if they update the page.
It Could be a typo the 9 is next to the 0 on the keyboard so maybe its 70.

[hubba]

Would be nice to try a 80mm bb drop frame on the road. I don't race and rarely have to pedal through tight corners. But rest of the geometry looks pretty bad who needs a 72.5 degree seat tube.
