Aerofor (Spect)

What people say about Aerofor (Spect)

Forum discussion portrays Aerofor (Spect) as a new, untested brand with an attractive low price but a troubled record on communication, delivery and trust. Ordering has been inconsistent, with buyers routed through Instagram, email or the reseller cyclegears.net, and payment links and responses often delayed or ignored. Lead times have slipped repeatedly from mid-2026 into September and October 2026, and early frames showed quality and completeness issues. Warranty protection is seen as weak, with at least one cancelled order still unrefunded, and the company has been accused of legal and certification problems and of operating from an empty registered address. Customisation and geometry information changed without notice, while pricing was generally seen as competitive but likely to rise.
