Cost-Performance Channel's In-depth Review: Why is ICAN FLYEE Chosen?
When choosing a road bike, the balance between "price" and "performance" is always a difficult issue.
High-performance frames are attractive, but many are in a high price range and are not easily affordable. On the other hand, many people may feel anxious about carbon frames with lower prices, wondering if "the geometry will fit," "the standards are not old," or "it will last a long time."
Amidst this, popular YouTuber "Cospa ch," who has overwhelming support for choosing road bikes with a focus on cost performance, thoroughly reviewed ICAN's latest road frame FLYEE.
In the video, not only was there a real-world ride impression, but also a detailed verification from the user's perspective, covering geometry design, weight, adopted standards, and even custom paint.
What was discussed in it was not FLYEE as "a frame chosen because it is cheap," but rather its completeness as **"a highly rational road frame for the current era."**
In this article, based on the review content, we will explain in an easy-to-understand way from the site manager's perspective why ICAN FLYEE is chosen by so many riders.
1. Less tiring even after long rides
Geometry design conscious of Japanese riders
A major factor influencing the comfort of a road bike is the frame's geometry.
Especially in recent years, many models designed to international standards tend to have long reach and deep riding positions.
In the video, Cospa ch frankly stated about his previous road bike:
"It was honestly quite tough to ride for long periods."
The reason cited was that the reach was too long for his body type.
● Exquisite balance with a reach of 377mm
The reach of the FLYEE (size 52) is 377mm.
This is a very similar value to frames designed for the body type of Japanese riders.
The distance to the handlebars is natural, leading to practical comfort, such as:
-
Upper body not overly stretched
-
Less strain on shoulders and neck
-
Posture less likely to break down during long rides
All these contribute to practical comfort.
● High stack for wide range of uses
The stack is set a bit high at 527mm.
This design is versatile, catering not only to racing but also to training and long rides.
The ability to achieve both "speed" and "ease of riding" at a high level is a major feature of FLYEE.
2. Focus on maintainability and future-proofing
Latest standards for long-term peace of mind
Many may worry that carbon frames at a lower price point might use outdated standards.
"Aren't the standards old?"
To alleviate such concerns, FLYEE actively incorporates currently mainstream standards.
● T47 Threaded BB
FLYEE adopts a T47 threaded BB.
This helps prevent the creaking issues common with press-fit BBs and offers excellent maintainability.
-
Easy to remove
-
Less likely to creak
-
Easy for shops to handle
This provides great peace of mind when considering long-term use.
● UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger)
The rear derailleur hanger uses a **UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger)**.
Because it's a global standard, it offers several advantages:
-
Easy to obtain in case of damage
-
Not dependent on a specific manufacturer
-
Easily adaptable to future component advancements
These are some of the advantages.
3. Impressive lightness for this price range
Actual measured weight of frame: 866g
The lightness of the FLYEE was also one of the highly praised points in the review.
-
Frame weight: 866g (size 52)
-
Fork weight: 360g
-
Total weight: 1228g
For the material, Toray T700 and T800 carbon are used in different parts to optimize the balance between lightness and rigidity.
In the video, Cospa ch demonstrated that the FLYEE was lighter even when compared to a smaller frame he had used previously.
4. Design a one-of-a-kind creation
Custom paint at no extra charge
One of the major attractions of the ICAN FLYEE is the free custom paint option.
On the official website's simulator, you can:
-
Choose upper and lower frame colors
-
Change logo colors
-
Specify matte/gloss finish
You can try these options as many times as you like before ordering.
The color scheme ordered by Cospa ch, matte black on top and matte pink on the bottom, was also highly praised in the video.
For those not satisfied with standard colors, this freedom offers significant value.
5. Revised specifications for a more realistic price
Price adjusted to 138,000 yen including shipping
While the FLYEE has received much attention, we have revised its price to make it more accessible to a wider audience.
The current FLYEE frameset is priced at:
Including shipping: 138,000 yen
This is the current price setting.
-
Lightweight carbon frame
-
Geometry for Japanese riders
-
T47 BB + UDH compatible
-
Free custom paint
Considering all these features, this price is very realistic and accessible.
A word from the person in charge
Having Cospa ch actually use and evaluate the FLYEE, and hear him say it's "a very rational choice in this day and age," was a great encouragement for us.
FLYEE is not a frame chosen solely for its price.
It's a bike we confidently recommend to anyone seeking a good balance of performance, comfort, future-proofing, and design.
