Descripción

We recently bought the Sensah Empire Pro groupset from AliExpress and Ollie did an unboxing video. The groupset is 12-speed, with carbon shifters and derailleurs, and cost just $300. It’s cheap, but how does it ride? We promised you we’d put it on a bike to find out, so here it is… Alex takes our budget AliExpress groupset bike for a test ride!

SENSAH EMPIRE PRO 2x12 Groupset

SENSAH EMPIRE PRO 2x12 Groupset

Creado: 17 de junio de 2026

El revisor prueba el grupo SENSAH EMPIRE PRO 2x12 velocidades de AliExpress, encontrándolo funcional pero con compromisos notables. El cambio es intuitivo pero tiene un recorrido largo de la palanca, lo que dificulta frenar y cambiar simultáneamente. El cambio del desviador delantero es lento y requiere reducir la potencia, especialmente bajo carga. Los frenos de disco mecánicos son decepcionantes, con la palanca llegando al manillar durante una frenada de emergencia. El grupo es ligero en general, pero el juego de bielas es pesado y el cassette parece estar decentemente hecho.

Resumen IA

Pros

  • Desviadores y mandos ligeros
  • Método de cambio intuitivo similar a SRAM mecánico
  • Los piñones grandes del cassette están mecanizados de una sola pieza, bastante bien hechos
  • Bajo costo (menos de 300 libras)
  • Palancas de fibra de carbono

Cons

  • Recorrido largo de la palanca para cambiar a una marcha más fácil
  • No se puede cambiar mientras se frena
  • El cambio del desviador delantero es lento y pesado, especialmente bajo carga
  • Rendimiento de freno decepcionante; la palanca llega al manillar en una frenada de emergencia
  • El sistema de freno tiene flexibilidad en el punto de pivote, estiramiento del cable y muchas piezas móviles
  • El juego de bielas es pesado (típico de grupos de gama baja)
  • Falta de rampas y pasadores en los platos para un cambio delantero suave
