Looks like Pardus has opened a D2C shop for US/Japan at least: https://www.pardus-bikes.com/ (https://www.pardus-bikes.com/)
Also possibly a new version of their aero road frame? https://www.pardus-bikes.com/products/bike-frame-pd-fb-73
Anyone got any experience with them?
They sponsor a team on this side of the world, and the Spark EVO looks good. Seems to hold up to racing demands.
They're supposed to make very good bikes, but they aren't particularily cheap
That aero frame looks really nice for the most part, but the shallow bb junction is a bit questionable
They make the Storck aero frames (who have a deeper fork), so the quality of their aero bikes should be good. Do they also make the Storck Aernario? The geometry seems to be different than the one that their (similar looking) climbing bikes have.
As always, a team riding a Chinese bike is always good news (Incolor now also have an Italo-Romanian CT team riding their frames) and they seem to have some of the best Chinese aerobikes, alongside Bross.
I was surprised at how low they seem to be pricing their framesets. I thought they would be Elves type range.
Fork on that new aero frame looks very inspired by the deep Stork fork. Wonder how close it would get in the tour magazine wind tunnel.

I agree. The frameset looks like a very good deal. The frame also looks familiar but can't figure out where I saw it. Headset area is what looks so familiar to me.
Looks very tempting to get.

Storck Aerfast? Edit: looking at it longer it reminds me more of a slightly updated Orbea Orca Aero, with a more hourglass shaped head tube that looks slimmer in the mid section.
If they actually have stock in common sizes for delivery to the US, their pricing is very competitive compared to Canyon that, unfortunately for a legacy West German based company, has an East German Trabant like fulfillment program for US customers .
I doubt those frame prices are accurate
they are widely available here in the UAE guys, in Dubai have a look at the prices, I think it is fairly priced. even considering a Spark Evo after Tech Vini Fantini used it in the UAE Tour 2025 and won the black jersey for the most competitive group!

PS THis site is legit I am often buying from them
I was trying to find about Pardus for the UK. Thought the Spark EVO looked great in the UAE tour
It does look good but I couldn't find the colorway here in the UAE, I already have had a chance to try some of my friends's Spark Evo and I noticed how stiff feeling it is up to the point that I also think it is quite heavy like around 7.5kg to 8 KG but it's an aero bike anyway. They might ship overseas mate, this website here in the UAE, why not giving it a try?
I did message Pardus today to see what they say.
Was also messaging a shop in HK re the ER:ONE which quite fancy and is lighter and a lot more $

Cyclegears? Yeah, they have lots of cool stuff, here in Europe ciclisti.cc has almost the same array as them and there is that one French guy who's a Seka distributor who also sells Winspace, Elves, Avenger and Ican frames.
all I can say is that this brand is or was totally been slept on by the western media/market but has now the reputation of Elite Wheels soon. Fairly priced bikes IMHO

Lack of availabiliy outside China is a big reason why - I don't even know where I can get one in Australia despite them sponsiring a contintenal team based here (St George Continental Cycling - basically the full China spec team).
the Robin Evo look lovely unfortunately no frame options and those integrated bars look interesting the way they sweep up. Definitely a brand to watch

No direct with Pardus website via webchat.
Got his response "Thanks for reaching out and showing interest in our products. We're currently updating our site with information organization. At the moment, everything is temporarily unavailable for purchase. We expect to relaunch mid-March. I'll be sure to follow up with you regarding the triathlon bike purchase once we're back online. Appreciate your patience!"
Look at the similarities of Ventum vs. Pardus
I revive this topic. Has anyone found information on the concrete handlebar dimensions except from stem length and width?
// EDIT: found it
Pardus will be ridden by Total Energies (https://teamtotalenergies.com/en/pardus-becomes-the-new-official-bike-supplier/) next season, perhaps we can expect better availability in Europe (or perhaps not) ;D

Yes. I am in the process of ordering a frameset but awaiting a response on the seatpost length.

Where do you order from? So far, I've only found stores in Italy or Spain.

There is only UAEcycle as a distributor for the frameset who is shipping to Europe. I contacted them via WhatsApp.
Well Pardus also makes frames for Ridley and Merckx though I'm sure there's more. Pardus SPKG4 evo is interesting but it's 3k usd :(

2.5k EUR via UAEcycle. For me its okay, if look at the price tags from brands like Seka or Incolor.
There's a deal for Ridley Noah Disc 3.0 for 2.8k USD. I think I would just take that if there's no progressive Chiner Frame on the horizon
Not available for me. In EU the frameset is 3k. Pardus claims the spark to be faster with rider than the Noah Fast.

Do they offer shipping that includes taxes and customs duties?
Raceit do ship from Spain. But its 3k Eur.

Yes and boring colors. I wrote a shop in CZ and wait for their answer.
So I placed an order for a XL frameset at planbike.it
