Saw that one too, seems to be brand new. I guess the next version of the Storck Aerfast will also have a bayonette fork...
By all accounts Pardus bikes are really good.
-
Probably a pretty fast bike, but I cannot stand that front end, aesthetically. Though top Pardus bike pricing is usually pretty in line with mainstream brands by the time you're out of asia.
-
It looks absolutely KILLER 8)
Can’t wait to have more info like price & weight
-
Willie Smit has a couple of videos up showing a bit more of the frame in case anyone wants to see more.

Tried to gather informations about this bike but so far really disappointed, nothing to find. Sent an email to pardus via their website, but for almost 2 weeks no response. Contacted a pardus bike shop from UAE via Instagram and they said, avialable in May. So far we have to wait unfortunately :(
-
Someone know, if an where this is available in europe as a frameset?
-
Had a chat with Pardus Europe via Insta and Mail in beginning of May. Price was 2999€ for the frameset and only the raw carbon/black and the black/white colour was available and think this is still the case. But i lost a bit the interest in this bike because 3k Euro is a lot.
Second, there are just 2 colours available via the dealer and i saw at least 10 on Tiktok etc, which i liked more but just for the asian market.
Third, i asked 3 times for specs/geo chart of this cockpit, because it has definitly some rise and and there are 2 options with different stack/angles. But never got a reply for that, just that Size S comes with 110mm stem if i remember it correctly...
So yeah, maybe a fast bike but not for me. Couldnot even finalize my size choice because with no information about the cockpit it is a gamble :(

UAE CYCLES ship in Europe.
A friend got the PARDUS TT frameset from them here in Paris
So UAE has the frameset for 2350€ and it weighs 1100g painted
Opinions ?
-
Entirely proprietary cockpit and headset with very limited options and even more limited support. IMO, one of the worst trends in the industry right now. I'd stay away just because of that.

Do you know if he had to pay customs duties and fees? I really like UAE Cycling's product range, but I'm worried about customs in Germany 😬
-
Perhaps you can ask them nicely to declare lower values like 300 euros only? I can give you the number of the boss/manager of UAEcycle in Dubai. He is a nice person and can definitely get what you need. PM me and you can reach out to him via WhatsApp. Cheers!

The spec on the UAE bike is much better, and it comes with high-quality Scom wheels. Plus, it’s cheaper—unlike the €5,090 price tag for the basic Ultegra build with no-name wheels. I don't think the pricing is justified for a Chinese import, and nobody in Europe has even heard of Pardus. Even in China, Pardus doesn't have the best reputation; there are jokes that their frames are just glued together from the leftover scraps of other brands 🤷🏻♂️

I mean, their only claim to fame is that they are the OEM behind those Storck frames. For what it's, they do have a decent amount of CT teams that they sponsor and last year Solution Tech Vini Fantini (an Italian PCT team) rode their frames, so they even showed up in some world tour races. Yeah, the price tag is too steep, but pretty typical for certain Italian importers around here, who want to make a big profit and are often a bit sly and/or shady.
They used to have way more bikes on the UAE site and if you ask them they'll also sell you the fully built bike with Elitewheels Drive II wheelsets + I know for a fact that the UAE shop ships stuff to Europe.

Pretty sure the joke is that they are made from offcuts of the J20 fighter jet, not other frames. It's a nod to the parent company's ties to the PLA and overall position in the aerospace industry.

I think Taishan, the parent company (https://en.taishansports.com/industry/products4_1.html) has been the producer for brands whose products have WON the Tour. Even more the XDS, my understanding is they are considered to be a top manufacturer of professional-level products, they are at the level of Topkey, XDS, or Xiamen Light Weight Composite.

Not true at all. In my country, Czech Republic, they are quite known, and they sponsor a local Conti team.
