Today we take a detailed look at the new Winspace T1600 hyperbike. In this video, I unbox the frame, inspect every part up close, and provide a proper analysis carried out by a qualified Engineer. We go through the weight, geometry, paint quality, construction standards, claimed aerodynamic gains, and the bold marketing statements that usually get repeated without question by clueless shop owners and self-appointed “experts.”
On close inspection, the T1600 stands out as a genuinely well engineered and thoughtfully developed frame. The finish is excellent, the internal cable routing is clean and logical, and the integration of the cockpit and fork is well executed. The carbon layup and overall workmanship show that Winspace has actually invested engineering effort instead of just rehashing the same tired designs to squeeze more cash out of you.
At roughly half the price of comparable Western frames from the big name brands, the T1600 exposes just how overpriced and overhyped many Western bikes really are. You are paying a premium for a logo and some glossy marketing, not for actual engineering.
You will see detailed close-ups of the head tube, bottom bracket area, fork, seatpost, and integrated handlebars. I point out the aerodynamic features and explain the design choices from a real engineering perspective rather than the usual parroting you get from bike shop mechanics who couldn’t read a micrometer if their life depended on it.
If you are considering the T1600 or simply want to understand what really goes into a modern aero carbon frame, this video gives you an honest, evidence-based breakdown. This review relies on real measurements, sound engineering principles, and hands-on inspection. No brand worship, no showroom sales tactics, and no regurgitated slogans.
Watch until the end for my final verdict and to see whether this frame is worth your money. Spoiler: at this price and engineering quality, it makes a lot of Western brands look like a total scam.

Not from someone who pushes products they happen to sell, cannot operate a micrometer properly, and then embarrasses themselves even further by doubling down on their ignorance when they get called out.

Bike part mentions in this video
Winspace T1600
Created: June 05, 2025The reviewer provides a detailed overview of the Winspace T1600, a Chinese superbike/hyperbike. They discuss its packaging, components, and various features. The frame arrives well-protected with bubble wrap and plastic bags, including the fork, seat post, and handlebars. The reviewer notes the frame's dimensions, weight, and the inclusion of ancillary components like headset spacers, top caps, and mounting hardware. They highlight the clean design of the fork, the immaculate paint finish of the frame, and the aerodynamic features such as the pointy head tube and aero fins. The reviewer also mentions the T47 bottom bracket, which offers advantages over the previous BB B86 standard. The bike is set to be equipped with Shimano Di2 and tested in a wind tunnel and time trials.
