I wonder if this frame comes from the same factory as the others fake SL8 which are sold on Aliexpress or OBM, Taiwan Eisen...

Just curious of the quality.

Tantan told me that they are manufacturing it themselves but I still doubt

I’d be very intrigued to see a blind test of Tarmac sl8 vs this X68 with the exact same components.. I doubt lot of people could feel the difference

What's the issue about the Carbonda 505SL being a newer model? Older models don't have the full infernal option.
I know some 505SL riders.. they seem to be happy with it.
Regards the riding /geometry you can also sneak to the 505 "old" model.. the geometry did only change very minor. It brushes closer to a endurance road bike than to a hardtail. If this is what you want, that fits the bill.

If I would go for a new frame..i would take the 505SL. But I have the old 505 already.  ;D it's my every day bike in fact.
Go and check out also mtb news.de  There are tons of information about all Carbonda road/ gravel frames  :D

Thank you very much for your answer. Do you also use some road tire on the 505 ? If yes, how does the bike handles ?

Is the clearance really 42 or it can take a bit more ?

Hello everyone

I'm looking for an all-purpose bike.
The specifications for this bike are :
- 60/40 or 50/50 road/gravel riding. I live in Switzerland and there is a lot of road compared to gravel
- Take 700x45 and bigger with 650b
- I would like this bike for long road rides with a 32mm wheelset and fast gravel rides with a wheelset between 36mm and 42mm. I would also like to take this bike on bikepacking adventures (Torino - Nice gravel route for example).

I've found several bikes that seem to fit the bill, but I'd like your opinion:
- Carbonda 696. The only problem is that I have no feedback on this bike with a road wheelset. Also it doesn't have fully integrated cables but
well, I can go over it
- BXT gravel bike. I've just discovered it. It seems to be exactly what I'm looking for but its weak point is that it's really heavy (1300g for the frame).
Carbonda 505SL. Again, relatively new and not really back.

If you have any other ideas or want to give your opinion, don't hesitate, I'd be very interested.
