21.5kg to 22.5 (the XT) depending on the model

Chinese parent company, but I think the bikes been developed by an Italian technical/development team.

These colors are peculiar, the only issue I would have is that is you ever want to cover scratch or missing paint, good luck!
 
"dissected" (measured) here:


It looks slightly less refined than the Amflow, but otherwise quite comparable (they measured 145mm of rear travel, though). The entry-level model offers the best value for money
 
It might be a great bike.....but that large "Teewing" on the downtube kills it. Sounds like cheap crap. They need a new brand name, hell TWC or TWB (Teewing Cycles or Teewing Bikes), or Wing would be way better, I just can't see people buying it with the Teewing logo emblazoned upon the frame, imo.

I I were to buy one I'd apply some kind of big sticker or paint over that somehow.

Me too, couldn't live with it as it is. The Chinese need to up their game in brand names. DJI is different as it's already a well known respected brand in the drone and camera world and Amflow and Avinox ....by the way, the name Avinox is (I guess) a play on words, from Stainless Audio Video ...Inox being French for stainless steel (so high quality audio and video in plain English) and sounds a damn sight better than (snigger) Teewing.

The brand name is a funny one, if you play back a lot of current well known brands in your head they’re a bit weird without the presence they have built by being familiar.

I mean, ‘Focus’, ‘Whyte’ and even ‘Specialized’ would be a bit weird if you’d never heard them before.

If the product is good enough, then the name will follow. I don’t particularly like the brand name ‘Amflow’, sounds like one of those brands the Chinese came up with for westerners, but it’s a good bike so people overlook it and soon it will feel normal.
 
Maybe they were going for a star wars a-wing, b-wing, x-wing, y-wing theme 😁

But the "T" (tee) is the shape the pilot sees looking down when riding ... 🤔
 
There aren’t many avinox bikes, just seems like a missed opportunity, go slacker, steeper, burlier, lighter, longer travel, shorter travel, mixed wheels anything… instead it looks like another Amflow
 
In the 1960s Datsun (now Nissan) produced a roadster called the “Fairlady”. It didn’t do well in the US market until they changed the name to Datsun 2000. It was the predecessor of the Nissan Z.

I can’t imagine a macho US. car maker using that name unless it was a Dodge RAM Fairlady.

Probably because 150/160 bikes are biggest market.

But 5 times more reliable. Way back in the past I worked in a Nissan dealership and there was one coming in for servicing, quite a good little wagon and considering it had done well into 100k miles, never complained.
 
I thuink as a trail bike it looks just fine.
Not much different to GT and Trek designs and the geo is middle of the road for trail bikes.
Would I buy one? Probably not - I really dislike the branding on the downtube, as others have said.
If it got rebranded, or you could buy one with black-on-black branding, I'd change my tune.
Imagine a more subtly branded version, like the Banshee Rune:

Again though - I prefer a burlier build, as I am a heavyweight and like to occasionally do park days and only own one bike.
 
My mate has the sparkly poo brown Teewing. To be honest it looks like a good quality frame. My mate will find its limitations. He is a HARD rider (got second in worlds masters DH this year in his age category). I've done a couple of rides with him on the Teewing. The only time I have a bit of extra pace is on the real chunky double black dh runs. I'm running Crestline S-180 180mm. He's running ohlins coil rear and 170 factory 38 on the front.

Technical climbing face off with the DJI Teewing and 100nm Bosch was entertaining. We managed ended up tapping out on the super steep tech at about the same time.

Anyway. By all accounts a fun bike. We'll find out how strong it is in due course. If there's any weaknesses my hard charging mate will find them.
