Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes?

I'm interested in x68. What's the best way to purchase one within europe?
I saw on their page that they don't offer tax handling or similar and that it needs to be done by buyer.
Would be great if someone could share their experiences.
It would be my first bigger purchase from china so be kind to me 😁

Hi,
I ordered mine in August directly from Seraph via WhatsApp.
It cost me €796 all inclusive for shipping to France.

Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes? You need to contact them via WhatsApp. I paid 200USD for my paint, but there are cheaper colours

Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes? Hello to all
Here is my contribution to all X68 fans.
Currently I have 2 X68's at home. Specifications below:

Frame: X68 size 44
Handlebars: Seraph Carbon handlebar 36cm
Wheelset: Farsports 40mm with Carbon spokes
Groupset: Shimano 105 Di2 12 speed
Crankset: Shimano 105 50/34, 170mm
Chain: Shimano 105 12 speed
Casette: 16-30 Shimano / Miche (for my son's race limitation)
Saddle: Ryet
Pedals: Shimano Ultegra
Tires: Continental GP5000 30mm
Tubes: Tubolito TPU
Bike weight: 7.0 KG !

Frame: X68 size 56
Handlebars: Seraph Carbon handlebar 36cm
Wheelset: Zen Wheels  50mm with Carbon spokes (1.145g)
Groupset: Shimano Ultegra Di2 12 speed
Crankset: Shimano  Ultegra  52/36, 170mm
Chain: KMC black 12 speed
Casette: Goldfix 11-34 black
Saddle: Berk Lipa
Pedals: Assioma UNO
Tires: Continental GP5000 30mm
Tubes: Tubolito TPU
Bike weight: 6,95kg

Regarding assembly: none of above 2 bikes have/had any issue at all. Neither with cable routing, neither with facing of brake calippers.  The guy that assemblied bikes was actually impressed about the quality of the frame. He stated, that many original brands are much worse in terms of assembly.
On 1st bike stem bolts were oxidised after 2-3 rides and they have sent me replacement.
On 2nd bike, they have sent me silver stem screw which really does not fit to black handlebar. But also that was replaced by them as well.
One more thing that is noticable is that both bikes were ordered same color (white pearl) but mine is far more »snow« white than my son's. Paint guy must have had bad day=) But still, they both look great.
Regarding ride & handling:
The 44 size bike was used by my son. He did aprox 4.000km in 2025, mostly racing. He even crashed 3 times this season, but there is no damage to the frame at all (not counting small scratch at rear axle:/)

I owned  S-works Tarmac SL5 disc before. Meaning I am not switching from some bad bike to X68, but still the difference is noticable.
X68 is more stiff (probably also due to thruaxle system instead of QR and SL5 being used for 9 seasons) especially in front end, but at the same time also more comfortable (also switch from 25mm to 30mm tyres does the job).

Haven't done many rides yet, so that's what I can tell so far.
 Feel free to ask if you have any more specific questions

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets Mine (was an ER7) arrived with two brake lines, connected to the calipers and already filled with oil. Then came two olives, two barbs, and two nuts to connect everything to the levers.

Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes? No YS code for this one. There was a back and forth WhatsApp conversation with Vivian with a couple of examples. My frame is now on their social media, so just need to ask for this one.

Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes? A sanding block from your local hardware shop has never failed me in the few Chinese bike that I have built up.
