3 years agoWhat kind of helmet is your friend in front of you (22:40) wearing? The one that almost matches the Seafoam bike with the rear support? Please and thanks!
Great review btw – thinking of this bike for my wife. Just wish I could get it with Hydraulic brakes.

3 years agoHi Hokieinidaho! I reached out to Pontus this morning to ask about the helmet and we discovered that it’s a Giro Quarter from some previous year (maybe a year or two ago when the logo and color was different). Here’s the official sales page and if you search Google images for “light green giro quarter helmet”, you can see the exact color with the different front logo but it appears to be sold out (at least at the Bowcycle shop I found). I hope this helps, perhaps you can find it at some other shop and it looks like it comes in a few sizes too :)

3 years agoHere’s a follow-up regarding the (now non-existent) taillight: the bikes used to make our model launch marketing videos were test models produced before manufacturing our new models. When our product team made the final design, the light was eliminated due to engineering challenges. AJ – Customer Experience Specialist

3 years agoI’m a bit confused, having contacted Blix on where to find the light that comes on the rack you reference.
Their response: Hi again — We do not sell rear lights for our current Sol model bike, and we do not have a kit to install one. I use a USB rechargeable light on my Sol rear rack that I bought at a local bike shop eight years ago. Let me know if you have any further questions. AJ
It might also be helpful to show the model year being reviewed on this site (which again, I think is OUTSTANDING, and appreciate that you solicit feedback!) I see the stamp on when the review was done, but the model year would be important. Not sure what’s up with Blix on saying they have no such light on the rack.

3 years agoGood feedback, sometimes it’s difficult for me to confirm the year (or if the bike is final) when I am invited to cover a new model. I usually put it up in the stats section and kind of guess like 2021/2022 sort of thing. I saw your other comment about Blix not including a light in their final design. Sorry to hear that, and their advice to get a rechargeable light aftermarket makes sense. Thanks for sharing your updates here, it’s nice that Blix responded quickly to your questions.

3 years agothanks for including comments on component quality. helps a lot with comparing seemingly similar models.
ReplyCourt
3 years agoYou’re welcome Michelle! Glad it helps, these were things I didn’t fully appreciate or understand when first entering the space. I think many parts are similar and tend to be long lasting (from Shimano or SRAM) but the high-end ones weigh less, are tighter, shift easier, have nicer shifter mechanisms, and tend to cost a lot more too ;)

2 years agoThanks for great reviews. The motor listed for this Blix Sol Eclipes in the Shengyi DGW25. On this review as well as others reviews the watts is listed as 750W and 90 nm torque. When I looked up this motor on the Shenyi website the watts are listed as 350w and 40 nm torque. See their official website here.
Why is there a difference is the numbers? Thanks.
ReplyCourt
2 years agoHi Pete! Great question, thanks for sharing the link. I use the numbers published by the company or what is verbally communicated to me during a visit and test ride. It’s difficult to verify specs when reviewing if they are not stamped onto the hardware. Sometimes it seems that companies are able to get custom builds (I see this with Brose for Specialized and Yamaha for Giant). By publishing pictures, showing my rides, and opening the comments here, my hope is that others can fill in the blanks.
