The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

Bottom line
YOELEO is a Chinese bike manufacturer specializing in carbon frames and components. The G21 DB is a full carbon gravel bike with race-ready geometry available in three builds or a frameset. Buyers can customize cockpit dimensions, colorway, and the fork pre-purchase. Experts praise the bike's stable and predictable handling, comfortable ride, tire clearance, and mounting options. One says the bike is easy to ride and live with, but doesn't stand out in terms of performance. Reports of frame imperfections and incorrect parts hint at inadequate quality control. Nonetheless, testers feel the YOELEO G21 is a good option at this price.Expert Reviews
