I didn't think the Y1RS would come out because of its unique frame shape, but it turns out there are replicas.
After watching a video and looking for it, I found that it is already being sold on AliExpress and Taobao.
I don't know if there are buyers in Korea, but I'm writing this just in case.
=Replica Differences=
-Cheap water bottle cage bolts (genuine uses black high-quality bolts, replicas use cheap random bolts)
-Down tube BB shell COLNAGO NFT logo sticker attached, low quality, different size
-(Estimated) Difference in battery mounting part fastening method (genuine is fixed by covering it with a water bottle cage without separate screws, replica is fixed with separate bolts)
-Down tube COLNAGO logo skewed or font size small
-Handlebar, headset parts quality is poor, bolt difference (genuine uses black bolts, replica uses silver)
-Handlebar bolt cover uses rubber material instead of 3D printing dedicated parts.
-The handlebar has a matte black paint finish without exposing the carbon layer. (It is said that genuine products have a slight exposure of the carbon layer.)
-BB thread (thread) alignment is crooked or the surrounding paint and carbon layer finish is not good (noticeable)
-Thru-axle thread finish is low quality, carbon layer exposed (genuine product does not expose the carbon layer in the direction of the thread)
-UAE Emirates logo case: UAE letter size and font are slightly different
-(Estimated) Size display sticker (genuine product has no size display sticker, replica has one)
-Fork front shape difference (genuine is very sharp for aerodynamics, but replica is relatively blunt)
-Seatpost part (seat clamp) is too large overall (can only be noticed by comparing it with the genuine product)

Replicas will not have the same performance as genuine frames, and safety is not guaranteed.
Let's avoid buying counterfeit products for our own safety and a healthy bicycle market.
