A BRAND FOUNDED BY ENTHUSIASTS
Established in 2020, ONIRII is a young Chinese brand specializing in carbon frames and high-performance bicycle components. Behind the project is a team of cycling industry professionals and industrial designers with over a decade of experience in product development.
The stated objective is to make equipment usually reserved for much higher budgets accessible. To achieve this, ONIRII relies on Chinese industrial expertise while maintaining a performance-oriented approach.
Oniri products appear not to have UCI frame approval.
MARKET POSITIONING
ONIRII occupies a particularly interesting middle category.
Facing premium brands like Hike, Specialized, Cervélo or Colnago, the price difference is staggering. While a high-end carbon frame can easily cost more than 4,000 or 5,000 €, ONIRII offers several complete frame models priced around 1,100 to 1,500 $.
Compared to Giant, Merida or XDS, the brand retains a price advantage while often offering more exclusive or lighter equipment.
Finally, faced with aggressive actors like Van Rysel or Nakamura, ONIRII targets enthusiasts looking for a more unusual and performance-oriented bike more.
A COMPLETE RANGE FOR CARBON ENTHUSIASTS
The offer ONIRII revolves primarily around performance road cycling.
The brand offers several carbon frames with distinct profiles. Some models prioritize aerodynamics with massive tubes and advanced integration, while others seek above all to reduce weight to appeal to climbers.
The framesets come with the fork, seatpost, integrated handlebar, and various mounting accessories. An interesting option that facilitates the build of a custom bike.
ONIRII also sells carbon wheels, clipless pedals, integrated handlebars, and several components for cyclists.
Among the most popular products, the carbon pedals PD-06 frequently come up in specialized discussions thanks to their particularly low weight and very competitive price.

NOTICE TO ONIRII BRAND USERS
Discussions observed on Reddit and Chinertown show a generally favorable perception of the brand.
Users particularly appreciate the equipment-to-price ratio offered by ONIRII. The carbon pedals are regularly cited as one of the best value-for-weight ratios on the market. Several owners also report good frame stiffness as well as a finish deemed superior to what one might expect in this price range.
On the side of critiques, some users point out a lack of detailed technical documentation or delivery times that sometimes vary depending on the period.
As with the majority of brands sold directly from China, questions concern long-term support rather than the intrinsic quality of the products.
Overall, the ratio of positive reviews appears significantly higher than the negative feedback.
ONIRII AGAINST THE COMPETITION
When comparing ONIRII to other Asian carbon specialists, several competitors regularly come up.
Winspace benefits today from a more established image and stronger international visibility. In return, prices are generally higher.
Elves also offers very attractive frames with a particularly elaborate design, but the price gap with ONIRII is tending to narrow.
Carbonda remains a benchmark for custom projects and gravel, while What is ICAN has a larger catalog, particularly in carbon wheels.
For cyclists looking for good value for money, ONIRII stands out as one of the most competitive options right now.
WHERE TO BUY ONIRII PRODUCTS?
Onirii offers its products in two locations. First their website, who will offer the entire range of products (frames, wheels, accessories...)
They alsoan AliExpress store in which they mainly offer accessories priced under €150.
The purchase is therefore made remotely.
In France, we need to be careful about VAT and customs duties. We don’t want to be surprised upon delivery by having to pay 20% on the product. That’s why using AliExpress is reassuring—they are subject to VAT. There are no customs duties because the products cost less than 150€.
Regarding the website, it's more unclear. By unclear, I mean that Onirii doesn't mention it. Therefore, we must assume that VAT and customs duties are not paid by the brand upon shipping.

CONCLUSION: OUR RECOMMENDATION
ONIRII is one of the Chinese brands to watch closely. The products are modern, prices remain particularly competitive, and initial user feedback is largely encouraging.
The brand obviously does not yet have the prestige of a Specialized or a Cervélo, but that is not necessarily what potential buyers are looking for.
For a cyclist looking to access a high-performance carbon frame or lightweight components without breaking the bank, ONIRII represents a credible and relevant alternative today. Provided one accepts the business model of a brand sold primarily direct-to-consumer, the value-for-money ratio is hard to ignore.
