SENSAH EMPIRE PRO 2x12 Groupset

SENSAH EMPIRE PRO 2x12 Groupset

Creato: 17 giugno 2026

Il recensore fornisce una prima impressione di unboxing e analisi del gruppo SENSAH EMPIRE PRO 2x12 velocità. Nota che i comandi cambio e i deragliatori sembrano promettenti, con leve effetto carbonio e peso leggero. Tuttavia, esprime preoccupazioni sulla guarnitura pesante e di bassa qualità, e sui freni a disco a cavo scadenti. Nel complesso, il gruppo offre un buon rapporto qualità-prezzo ma presenta alcuni compromessi.

Riepilogo IA

Pros

  • I comandi cambio e i deragliatori sono belli esteticamente e più leggeri dello Shimano 105.
  • I comandi cambio hanno un bullone di regolazione della distanza della leva.
  • Il pacco pignoni è leggero (224g) e ha rampe lavorate per i cambi.
  • La catena è leggera (245g) e include una maglia rapida.
  • Il movimento centrale sembra decente e utilizza un comune standard perno da 24mm.
  • Il prezzo è molto basso, circa 310 sterline.

Cons

  • La guarnitura è pesante (1035g) e sembra di bassa qualità, con vernice graffiata appena uscita dalla scatola.
  • La guarnitura utilizza un design simile a Shimano, potenzialmente violando brevetti.
  • Le corone della guarnitura sono in acciaio stampato, non buone come Shimano.
  • I freni a disco a cavo sono pesanti (225g) e probabilmente hanno prestazioni scadenti.
  • Le pinze dei freni sono di un marchio sconosciuto (Nut) e hanno un movimento delle pastiglie irregolare.
  • Il deragliatore posteriore presenta fusione grezza e imperfezioni di finitura.
  • Il design del pacco pignoni utilizza bulloni a croce che potrebbero spanarsi facilmente.
  • Il pacco pignoni è scavato, sollevando preoccupazioni sulla durata.
