Wiawis Frame?

[ByAliTR]

Hello Friends

I saw a frame with the wiawis brand label. it looks really nice. as geometry, an aero frame. like a very fast frame.

wiawis is a Korean brand. I think it is produced in China. I wonder if there is the same frame from China, have you ever seen it?

I suppose they know how to work with carbon, it's a well known brand in archery

It really reminds me of the Speeder Cycling SC-R49D, but there are some small differences

Yeah I'm intrigued. From the article toxin shared and the literature on the Wiawis website, it looks like they are really making their own bikes and this ACOL start up is going to bring them to the western market? Could be cool!

I am pretty sure Wiawis frames are made in SK. They also partner with Schmolke for those frames.

A few Asian diversified sports equipment brands make really high-end bike frames that seem really low-volume. Yonex road bikes, made in Japan, are another example.

The rear triangle is pretty much a OEM (including BB area) copy of LCR0X, so I would take "original design claim" with a pinch of salt.

Wiawis is a legit company and they were the first in archery who  introduced carbon  parts. Former Times the company name was win & win .. which is still visible in the unchanged logo "w&w" .

So regarding their capability of working with carbon..definitely a yes!

Yep, remember them well from my archery days, had a pair of limbs from them, they were lovely

They run R&D in S.Korea and carbon frames are made in many different SEA countries - Myanmar, Malaysia, Laos - and China.
W&W(archery brand) has factories in China and Myanmar, I guess bikes made in Myanmar are manufactured in the same facility with bows and part of Chinese frames from their own factory.
It's hard to expect they're using open molds.

I'd love to see the 3Rensho brand name resurrected for made in Japan bikes/frames.
