I don’t think I’ve seen Pro product endorsements like this before, is it a new trend? Chinese brands and products are definitely entering the mainstream, as quality and acceptance levels increase.

Anyone have experience with these units? They claim a 50+ hr battery life on this model.
I just got the BCS100 from them and I’m pretty impressed for the price. Just wanted something basic that could show stats from my various sensors. Seems to work great. Way more affordable than anything from the western brands. The app and manual could use some better English in the translations, but the functionality is great.
GCN has been sponsored by Elite wheels for over a year now.
There are amazing cycling components coming from the Chinese brands right now. As Western brands move manufacturing to India and Vietnam, these Chinese OEM factory owners are getting left holding the bag, so, they are launching their own brands, and many of them, are really, really good.
I don’t think we are too far off at all from seeing a Chinese group set in the pro peloton, and I think we’ll see a wheelset as early as next year. Rotor was recently purchased by Wheeltop. Wheeltop is one of those Chinese brands making an electronic wireless groupset, that is actually, pretty damn good.
Yup, the Chinese manufacturers want a piece of the pie, and they are taking it, quite well.
What’s weirder about that is Chris Froome was an early Hammerhead investor: [https://velo.outsideonline.com/road/road-racing/sram-acquires-chris-froome-backed-company-hammerhead/](https://velo.outsideonline.com/road/road-racing/sram-acquires-chris-froome-backed-company-hammerhead/)
