![]() In conclusion, based on what I’ve noticed switching from a carbon frame, if you enjoy weight savings, want a more responsive frame and feel you aren’t crash-prone, I think a carbon frame is a worthy upgrade. The carbon that makes up my frame is much thinner than the aluminum of another frame (part of where the weight difference comes from) and therefore more brittle (carbon as a material is also brittle) so if you crash the frame doesn’t deform or take the flow it’ll snap. It came in a large box well packed with lots of foam, and I experienced no issues with the shipping. Just feeling the frame, it’s pretty fragile compared to an aluminum alternative and looking at images of bikes after crashes that carries over. Hello all, wanted to share some pictures, weight and first impressions of my Trifox X16 carbon frame before I build it up. I recommend also to the begginers cyclist and. In my opinion, if you’re a beginner rider or someone who’s at risk of crashing, I wouldn’t go for a carbon frame. My experience in my TRIFOX X16 speedster is so good this frame is so reliable,light weight and super stiffer. I’ll move on to a disadvantage, fragility and crash resistance. I didn’t notice that much of a comfort difference when going over rough road surfaces I felt the bumps and road vibration the same. Related to stiffness is the comfort often carbon frames are said to be more comfortable than their aluminum counterparts. The stronger you are the more you’ll notice this difference. When I put down power, like climbing a hill, it feels like the bike is more responsive than its aluminum counterpart. I do notice this one, but less noticeable than something that can be measured by a scale.

Also, if you want a bike with aero tube profiles the weight difference will be more pronounced since more material needs to be used.Īnother one of the advantages is the stiffness. With a standard weight carbon frame (around 1300G frame and fork) and some standard weight carbon wheels along with a Shimano 105 groupset my finished weight was around 7.5KG with pedals, pretty light compared to an aluminum equivalent (for example, a Canyon Endurance Aluminum weighs in around 8.2KG, minus pedals). The handlebar is not included, but you can browse these Chinese handlebars to complete the frameset. Please, note that the frame weight differs based on the brake type. The frameset includes a fork (319g) and seatpost (182g). One of the advantages of carbon touted are the supposed weight benefits, and I’ve noticed that myself. Trifox X16 is an affordable, lightweight frame available in multiple cool colors. ![]() I recently upgraded to a carbon bike (Trifox X16) after riding an aluminum bike for a while and I wanted to give my thoughts about the switch and maybe help those who are debating switching. ![]() Hello everyone, I’m sure this topic has been discussed many times before but I thought I’d join in, maybe provide a different perspective.
