Would the software be region locked if bought through the tb link? If im not wrong it happened with their computers when brought out of china.

Otherwise this QED seems not too bad, weights pretty close to a ultegra set.

I talked to them and they told me: "The Chinese version of the groupset needs to be paired and activated using the Chinese version of the OnelapFit app. However, the overseas phone numbers are not supported for registration in this version." So you need a Chinese phone number for it to work.

The groupset is already being sold on Pardus bikes at a shop in Dubai.

Most likely because they'd never get into retail in most countries if they didn't, because the selling price is so low on Taobao.  It's price discrimination.

Anyone got any link on Taobao? I found one from the official Magene store, but it shows not in stock. Curious if they ship to US or maybe purchase through some of Taobao agent like Superbuy.

Here's the link: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=878332887095

Buying through a shipping agent really could be an option if there's a way to figure out the activation.

sorry if i missed it but any word about the hose standard? BH90 with mineral? takes L05 pads?

interesting to see that the team is receiving the groupset, but the general consumer cannot get it.

Let the pro test it before the consumer I guess?

And it's actually a good thing. It shows that they don't use the consumer as a beta tester for a full priced product like other manufacturers do.

Well they did use the consumer for testing, just limited to china
