Haven't seen a thread on this bike...
Elilee Suanni was first revealed at Shanghai bike show. According do underdogs cc will be released in 3-4 weeks.

Certainly looks different amd interested to see what if it's been tested in tue tunnel.

Does it have Geometry chart?

Is that the bike with the super narrow head tube? Looks interesting and has potential, depending on the pricing and the geometry chart.

Motty89

Yeah it's the super narrow headtube one. Not seen any geometry charts but fingers crossed for something quite progressive. Hoping for quite progressive geometry with decently long reach.

What turns me off is the seat mast. Don't want that shit to become a trend lol

Meh, isps have been around for a very long time and never stuck. Trek still does them because they have the system pretty well solved for adjustability. These chinese companies do not.

Imagine you have a new bike part(shorter cranks/new saddle/new shoes) and it requires your saddle to go up but you can't because you've cut the seat mast too low already....

or if you have the correct height but change your shoes or saddle to something with a different stack height 😂

Dareios

Apparently there is some adjustability with the ISP:
"The integrated seat post is handled through a dual system: the primary post has no height adjustment, but if it gets cut too short, a second adjustable post can be inserted to recover stack height. That solves the usual resale and fit concern around integrated posts without adding meaningful weight."
Source (there is also a video of him visiting the bikeshow): https://www.cyclistshub.com/elilee-at-shanghai-bike-show-2026/

So if there is some room to adjust seatpost height, let's say maybe like Giant's ISP clamp, then it's not that much of a dealbreaker. I do think it's the one thing holding something like the Incolor SSR back.

Back to the Elilee Suanni, I hope the geometry is similar to the Elilee Blize, high stack and a 74° seat angle with minimal (5mm) seatpost offset. A bit more BB drop and a slightly slacker headtube angle would be nice IMO. I don't really like 73.5% degree headtube angles on long descents when it's a bit windy, if you wheel tire system isn't perfectly dialed in the front wheel can be a bit too twitchy for my liking.
