The CAMP ACE III is a full-carbon aero road bike/frameset offered at an unusually low price, with the complete 105 Di2 build selling for 59,900 baht and the frameset (frame, fork, integrated bar/stem, seatpost) around $515. Owners and reviewers agree the package is strong value and the paint and finish look good, but the frameset is significantly heavier than the original 780 g claim (size 54 measured 1,182 g frame / 473 g fork), tyre clearance is limited to about 30–32 mm, and lead times run two to three months with slow communication.

Reviews & Ratings
08:20The reviewer presents the CAMP ACE III as a full-carbon road bike (carbon frame and carbon wheels) with a Shimano 105 Di2 electronic groupset, describing it as a modern aero-style bike offered at 59,900 baht. He walks through the handlebar, frame, groupset, saddle, wheels, tires, accessories, and color options, and concludes that the bike offers very good value for the price, noting a weight of 7.66 kg for size 49.
The CAMP ACE III is a Toray T800 aero road frameset sold by CAMP Bicycle through Alibaba, styled after the Cervélo S5, with a T47 bottom bracket, an aero seatpost and a one-piece carbon bar/stem that clamps the steerer like Cervélo's design, so spacers can be added or removed without cutting. The frameset (frame, fork, bar, seatpost) costs about $515, or $575 with the 'phoenix tail green' paint, plus $5 for axles, $15 for a BB and shipping; complete bikes with Shimano groupsets are offered too, and a 105 Di2 build came to about $2700. The first frames reached buyers in October 2026: a size 54 weighs 1182 g with a 473 g fork, 367 g bar and 223 g seatpost, far from an earlier 780 g claim, and one complete size 54 build weighs 7.08 kg. Owners are pleased with paint and overall finish, though one frame had debris in the BB threads and a paint chip that CAMP blamed on shipping but offered to pay a shop to touch up. Lead times are long: 50-81 days of production plus about 10 days shipping, extended by Chinese holidays, and communication can be slow. Bar sizes beyond the listed 80-110 x 380/400 mm are made on request, but 360 mm bars only come in 80-90 mm. Tyre clearance is about 30-32 mm, and some find the geometry dated; the strength of the front end for heavy riders is still an open question.
