🐼 https://www.pandapodium.cc/?ref=2 For all your Premium Asian Bike Parts.
📝 In my last video I showed you guys my $5k Dura-Ace superbike; the Polygon A9x. In this video, I try turn a superbike into a hyperbike by throwing the best bike parts that Asia has to offer at it. Are the upgrades worth it? How does the bike ride now? Is it any faster? And can you do these upgrades for free? Let's find out.

🙌 Disclaimer
Panda Podium is my own business. Most of the products used in this video were provided by the brands for free. I have hand-picked and hand-tested every product i list on the website. Splashing $3k on upgrades for a bicycle isn't something I recommend everyone do. This is simply an exercise in seeing what it takes to go from a 'superbike' to a 'hyperbike' If you don't like it, don't do it. Just ride what you ride and be happy. Cycling is a sport for everyone, and it's 99% about your legs and 1% about the equipment.
