YOELEO R12 DB Disc Brake Frameset

YOELEO R12 DB Disc Brake Frameset

Creato: 06 luglio 2025

The reviewers provide a detailed ride review of the YOELEO R12 DB Disc Brake Frameset. They discuss the build quality, design, specifications, geometry, and their riding experiences. The frame is UCI-approved, made from Toray T800 carbon fiber, and comes with a 6-year warranty and a 110kg rider limit. The build process was smooth with excellent tolerances for the bottom bracket, headset, and through-axle holes. The seat post fit is described as a 'vacuum fit' and very tight. The frame offers four standard paint options and a custom option for an additional $500 AUD. The geometry is described as normal and stable, with a stack of 550mm and reach of 386mm for the medium size, a 73-degree head and seat tube angle, and a 72mm bottom bracket drop. It features a sliding seat post with 40mm of layback adjustment and can fit up to 32mm tires. The reviewers had differing experiences on comfort, with the lighter reviewer finding it comfortable (4.5/5) and the heavier reviewer finding it harsh on rough roads (3.5/5). They rated its speed as good but not exceptional, praised its handling as planted and stable, and found it practical due to local Australian distribution and adjustability. Value was considered good but slightly high-priced compared to some direct competitors.
