To be fair, it's Shimano covering 2 yr warranty, not you guys.
Hi petal666,
That's true, but other than waiting for Shimano to complete the whole process, we will contact them and either replace the whole bike or the damaged part right away and we will deal with the warranty claim. (If we have the item in stock).
A quick update, we are now offering a Same/Next day delivery service in the Metro Melbourne area, simply select ship-local delivery, and you can enter your preferred date and time for our courier to deliver your goods.
Do you offer single speed bike or planning to ?
Also is below related to the company ?
Hi! Unfortunately, we do not offer single speed bikes at the moment, but hey, anything can happen in the future!
We are not the same company as we solely focus on Austalia, they are the manufacturer of the bikes.
Yes, also looking for a decent spec fixed/single speed. Specialised Langster/Bianchi Pista style or similar.
The market for single speed is pretty small once you go beyond very cheep and not so cheerful options. However if you are willing to pony up some bigger $$$ Bombtrack, All City, and Salsa offer some options that are both disc braked and single speed compatible. They typically have sliding drop outs so you can get the chain tension right.
Also feel free to have a poke around at the community site fixed.org.au!
Good prices, I'm not in the market for a new bike at the moment but I told myself I'll consider SAVA, Winspace and similar brand for my next bike. It looks like good value for money with good groupsets, carbon wheelset and other carbon parts and warranty, as long warranty claims are easy to do. Or at least a bit safer option than buying a second hand carbon bike.
Will you ever have a showroom in Melbourne to try the bikes?
Hi Nkl.
We are working on a new showroom! We do have a small showroom in our local despatch warehouse right now for our retailers to come and inspect the bikes, customers are also welcome to visit the site for size fitting and see the actual product, but due to the business park are not quite open for public, you can make an appointment with us via [email protected] and we will arrange the rest for you. Thanks!Never even heard of sava. They could of at least put in the more common 160mm front rotor. Not sure about wheels you could buy from Aliexpress. The image shows 50mm but the description says 60mm as well.
Have these issues been addressed?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnH1KhS6ypgSimple bike assembly with no grease, untrue wheel etc etc
NICE!
Hi pippohippo,
Yes, we had contacted the YouTuber and the manufacturer, the void that is showing in the fork is actually the mould designed to make it like this, so they don't break while riding them. We had randomly selected a few bikes in our warehouse and sent them to Melbourne's local carbon bike inspector and the reports show that the bikes are perfectly safe to ride.
And all of the bikes are UCI certified as well.
We won't hide your comment as we did not have the chance and platform to address the questions, as far as safety concerns, they are perfectly safe to ride.Thanks for confirming!
It's great to see manufacturer and business making sure their products are safe and take on feedback from the community (and youtubers) who spend a lot of effort to review to make sure people aren't getting scammed or potentially buying dangerous items.It would be good if you can get the youtuber an upgraded bike for review to show the improvements and that you have address the concerns to give confidence to buyers :)
I'm definitely keen on a new carbon road bike and support the little guy over big brands!
Hi pippohippo,
Yes, we had addressed the issues that are brought up by the Youtuber but for some reason, he decided to leave it.
As a Company based in Australia other than selling products from overseas we are very cautious when it comes to safety issues and when the video was published, we took down all road bikes until we had our current bikes inspected by a local specialist.
We are planning to send out one of the newest Shimano Dura-ace electronic groupsets carbon bike for review, do you have any recommendations?@AcolionPtyLtd: The issue isn't the fact it's still up there. It's better to have it up there and another video to address the fix. This provides consumers with better confidence and can see that you CARE.
Great to see you addressing my concerns as well!
I don't see a point in di2 range. If you can afford this, you would probably buy a bigger branded bike. Better to stick with mechanical shifting. Carbon road bikes probably 105 minimum. Might be able to get away with Tiagra but find it a waste. 105, you give the buyer the option to easily upgrade more easier to ultegra or dura-ace. You want to make it easier for the consumer to upgrade and not replace everything
Not sure if you plan to go rim brake bikes as well. I came from disc brakes and love it for mountain rides and descents, but have recently bought rim brake bike for flatter road riding and it's much more easier to work with.
Very competitive price and nice wheels (glad you fix the issue as well with the un-true wheel, hub not being straight)

Side comment on your website - if someone else can re-confirm or correct me regarding the sizing that would be good
- Might want to standardise your size chart. I believe most people go with height in CM or Ft, not inches
- most people go bike base on reach not standing height. It doesn't look right that your 54cm size in height only have 38.7cm reach.@AcolionPtyLtd: If you’re serious about the scrutiny contact Hambini, he roast’s big bike companies for fun, check out his YouTube channel, his approach can be divisive use if language etc but he appears to be the real engineering deal.
I do like Cam's vids, but I wish it was a Hambini roast video instead.
No pedals :-(
Hi Bargaino!
It did comes with the pedals but most of our customer will chose to replace it with the lock pedals and shoes.It did as in previously came with pedals but you no longer provide them? Or it still has pedals?
Hi plasmog,
They all have pedals included :)
Hi what is the weight on this bike (approx)? I can see about 9.8kg listed for the cheaper model.
Can you help me understand the main differences (benefits) between the listed model and the lower end of your range - is it mostly the carbon materials / lower weight or is there any other major thing I would notice.
Am an amateur cyclist and will likely buy one, not sure which. It looks like the higher end models also have more expensive gearsets, but I'm not sure there's much value in them for a casual like me - with ultegras emphasising "1 finger shifting" and a 50g weight reduction.
I recently purchased a Canyon bike with 105 groupset as the substantially more expensive Ultegra or Dura-ace are for the top of the range road race bikes.
https://road.cc/content/review/248560-shimano-105-r7000-grou…Did you have to pay anything extra like gst or import duties before they delivered or is that included in the price?
Prices on Canyon website are the final price including GST and duties. Delivery is approx. $200 and most of the bike is fully assembled taking about 30 mins to complete setup. Website has all the information regarding shipping and payment.
https://www.canyon.com/en-au/customer-service/shipping.html@bongom: I have been drooling on canyon website for months now.
Do they sometimes have sales?
Are they easy to deal with in case of problems?
For most of the brands, price difference mainly come from the groupset , frame material and wheelset. 105 is sort of a standard for a carbon frame bike, I don't see a point to have a carbon frame with Anything under 105 groupset. If you think riding on weekends on mainly flat or bike trails, it is more than sufficient. with ultegra and duraAce, they would be lighter, smoother shifting etc. Usually over $800 more than 105 and approx $1500 for DuraAce. Just did a quick look at their pricing without looking through details. For $300 difference, assuming everything else are the same if not better, I will definitely go with Ultegra. Hope this helps
Hi JCRALLYART,
Yes, other than the groupset, the rest of the parts are the same :)
Hi plasmog,
The R3000 with the price$1799 only have the frame in Carbon, for 105 and Ultegra, they come with a full carbon set (Carbon handlebar, seat tube, rim, fork, and frame).
The main difference between the 105 and Ultegra model is the groupset, the rest of the parts are the same.Thanks do you know approx weight on the full carbon model? Site notes the mixed model is ~9.8kg, am wondering if the weight difference is substantial.
For the 105, the approx weight is 8.7 kg (without pedals)
For the Ultegra approx weight is 8.4 kg (without pedals)
The brakes are around the wrong way (for me) - don't Aussie bikes normally have the front brake on the right?
Hi peter_mcc,
The Australia bikes normally come in the opposite position, but due to the supply shortage back in 2021, the only shipment we can secure is the ones that are in the EU, so we had to have them sent to us otherwise we will have no stock to sell.
You can always change the position quite easily or we can change it for customers if requested.I think that's against Australian Standards to sell with front brake on the left (ie EU orientation).
https://www.nsw.gov.au/driving-boating-and-transport/roads-s…
"Bicycles sold in Australia are required to meet the requirements of Australian Standard AS/NZS 1927:1998 Pedal bicycles – Safety requirements."Australian Standard AS1927 – 1998 Pedal Bicycles – Safety Requirements, page 16 Section 2.14 Braking System 2.14.2.1 states the following: Handbrake lever location: The brake lever for a front brake shall be positioned on the right-hand side of the handlebar, and that for a rear brake on the left-hand side.
Hi 8azinga,
We had a discussion with the legal team and the Bike Law in VIC only requires at least on working brake.
https://www.legalaid.vic.gov.au/bike-law@AcolionPtyLtd: That is a guide for riders. The rest of the title is 'A bike rider's guide to road rules in Vic"
It has nothing to do with the sale of bicycles by retailers which I believe must meet the Australian Standards.@8azinga: Yea… but when we visit VIC road or call Department of Infrastructure and ask them related rules and laws, they said as long as there's one working break then we'll be fine.
We also provide a change of braking positions free of charge if customer requested, simply leave a note when checking out then we will have it done for you.@AcolionPtyLtd: What does VIC Roads and Department of Infrastructure have to do with making sure products sold meet the standards?
For 3K, you'll easily find full carbon and full Ultegra bikes from big brands.
Good luck finding one!
Even this brand you can't get it for under $3K (with Alloy wheels) and I am not saying it is not a good brand, just not the same level as the big players.
