Descrizione

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

Creato: 17 giugno 2026

Il recensore testa il gruppo SENSAH EMPIRE PRO 2x12 velocità di AliExpress, trovandolo funzionale ma con notevoli compromessi. La cambiata è intuitiva ma ha una leva lunga, rendendo difficile frenare e cambiare contemporaneamente. Il cambio del deragliatore anteriore è lento e richiede di ridurre la potenza, specialmente sotto carico. I freni a disco meccanici sono deludenti, con la leva che arriva al manubrio durante una frenata d'emergenza. Il gruppo è leggero nel complesso, ma la guarnitura è pesante e la cassetta sembra ben fatta.

Riepilogo IA

Pros

  • Deragliatori e leve cambio leggeri
  • Metodo di cambiata intuitivo simile allo SRAM meccanico
  • I pignoni grandi della cassetta sono lavorati da un unico pezzo, abbastanza ben fatti
  • Basso costo (sotto le 300 sterline)
  • Leve in fibra di carbonio

Cons

  • Leva lunga per passare a un rapporto più facile
  • Non è possibile cambiare mentre si frena
  • Il cambio del deragliatore anteriore è lento e ritardato, specialmente sotto carico
  • Prestazioni dei freni deludenti; la leva arriva al manubrio in caso di frenata d'emergenza
  • L'impianto frenante ha flessibilità nel punto di perno, allungamento del cavo e molte parti mobili
  • La guarnitura è pesante (tipica per gruppi di fascia bassa)
  • Mancanza di rampe e perni sui corone per un cambio anteriore fluido
