🙌 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.
