Birdy AXS: Assembly Completed with Suncord Wheelset

Assembly of the Suncord 4 Spoke carbon wheelset is completed! Let's look at some pictures of the Birdy AXS 12 Speed with the new wheelset.

Unique to Birdy bikes, the front rotor is mounted on the drive side.

The hollow look of the 4 carbon spokes look awesome alongside the front suspension fork.

Using the same SRAM drivetrain, but with a new wheelset.

Lots of empty space visible through the rear wheel.

XTR MT900 rotors used on both the front and rear.

Full bike with Suncord 4 spoke carbon wheelset!

It's a unique hybrid of SRAM drivetrain with Shimano brake components.

Updated bike component specifications! With the weight reduction from the wheelset and rotors, the bike is barely above 9 kg if you exclude the pedals and kickstand (which is the standard way of comparing different bike weights).

Using all black components allow the blue frameset to stand out!

Great weather!

One of the best pictures in my opinion

Lovely cloudy weather again

After the Suncord wheelset modification, I currently don't have any other modifications planned for the Birdy. It's perfect in terms of performance, appearance and weight, not much room to optimize in any significant way.
