Title: HongFu FM309 - TT/Tri bike
Post by: Aradell on May 09, 2025, 07:16:02 AM
HongFu has a new TT bike on show at the Shangai bike show (saw a picture thanks to a Slowtwitch forum member). It's under their direct to consumer "Avenger" brand

Since there is a bit of interest on the forum in TT bikes (with the ICAN, Velobuild and Winow threads). I reached out to HongFu for some more details.
They responded with some more pictures and the geometry chart. The bike should be for sale in 2025 via their Avenger brand.

What are your experiences with HongFu?

Geometry and pictures:

looks pretty good geometry wise, XL look nice and large for us tall folk. Would be curious of tire clearance, storage options, and if it comes with a decent cockpit.

32c clearance would be lovely, hydration system looks nice on the first picture, but no bento box possible because of the hose (?)

the bento 'box' probably in the toptube itself.

the fact the make use of the bb shell area as storage is good space utilization.
tpu tubes, tire levers, e-pumps n compact multitool should fit in there.
flush stem like winow tt119 ,its nicer than my tt912

You might be right, that would "explain" the black part on the toptube.

Good point for the bb shell area storage !

Looking forward to have more details.
