Are BEIOU bikes any good?
Discussion
RRP isnt £2k! No one on earth would spend £2k on a mtb and be satisfied with that spec!!
Amazon at least, has a "suggested" then the "sale" price which makes it look like a huge saving. If it was a £2k bike it would have Rockshox or Fox forks, SLX/XT drivetrain and some wheels I had at least heard of, the components on the BEIOU are fit for a £300 bike at best, they obviously think the carbon frame will tempt people and BEIOU bump up the price accordingly. It will be a generic Chinese carbon frame, nothing bad about that in principle but its barely worth £600...
I'd look at the £600 bikes from Radon, Univega or one of the other Euro-centric brands from bike-discount.de first. They will be alu not carbon but with more reliable components.

A friend of mine once bought a CF full sus bike which he thought was the dogs. He was told it was a £2k bike reduced to £600 ... he couldn't give me any spec details (his bike knowledge less than poor) but when I finally saw it, I couldn't help but laugh. I seriously wouldn't have paid £100 for it. And he had the cheek to laugh at my bike because it was a hard tail.
Anyway, never heard of them and I wouldn't advise buying a bike from somewhere like Amazon unless you know what you're actually buying.
