TOP 3 most expensive bikes on AliExpress
Introduction
When talking about high-end road bikes, many people immediately think of Trek, Specialized, or Cannondale. But for a few years now, AliExpress has been joining the game, with Chinese brands like Trifox, ICAN, or Carbona offering carbon frames equipped with high-end components.
The question is simple: are these bikes worth it, or is it a mechanical lottery?
Spoiler: This is not where you should buy your high-end complete bike.
ALVAS F.YUZE XT
First bike in this article, the ALVAS F.YUZE. The frame no longer exists in the Alvas bike lineup, which means the brand is surely using AliExpress to sell the bikes they no longer market directly.
Alvas is a brand founded in 2019 that primarily sells 40% in South America, 30% in North America, 20% in Asia, and 10% in Europe.

BXT
BXT is one of the brands with a very strong presence on AliExpress. Reviews for the brand are generally good.
