Yonex 650 gram frame

[Leviathan]

I live in Japan. If anyone wants one of these, I can get one for you and send it out.

Very tempted, but my wife would kill me.

I can send you a replacement wife too, if you want.

Close the internet. we have a winner

Found one...



The shop staff were a bit miffed about me banging off photos, so this was the only one I got. I did however, manage to make a video of it, which I will edit and upload later.

450,000 JPY at today's exchange rate is just over $4,000 USD. Not bad considering getting a very high quality 660 gram frame.

"XS" is the extra small size? if the M to L size is about low 700g, its still very light

Yes, the one in the link is an extra small size.

^ One of the best values for the money in terms of a ww frame. Never would have thought even 5 years ago that you would be able to get a <690g frame for $3500 with a lifetime warranty. Even the FR1 frame @ 765g for $2000 is a deal

And also 28mm tire clearance - buuuuut rear brake behind the bottom bracket. Yes, I know lower center of gravity and so on.

The price of the Felt is really good but made in China is not made in Japan.

These pictures are about the Felt frame in the link, not the Yonex frame discussed in this thread.

Correct. Only wanted to show what else you could get in this league - besides AX Vial Evo, Cannondale SuperSix Evo, Scott Addict, Ridley Helium SLX and so on.

Wonder,how much the paint on this frame weight. Meybe the naked frame will weight under 600g.

[mike]

anyone have this frame? reviews? this seems to be the lightest out there.

Free tennis racquet with that Yonex frame?

Even the sign looks like a racquet.

Kind of a related update, Yonex have announced an aero road frame with a few photos:
https://cyclist.sanspo.com/409824

The article says they are aiming for a sub-900 g frame weight, with detailed specs to be announced near the end of 2018 and sales start at the beginning of 2019. Article also mentions they've spent time in a wind tunnel designing the frame, frames will be fabricated in Japan and go for somewhere between USD 6-7k.

A disc version of the road frame has also been on sale for a couple of months. Can't find info on the frame weight though.

How much would it cost to ship to US?
