Trinidad was formerly known as Guangzhou Sanhuan Hardware Factory, mainly producing mountain bike frames and shock absorbers, and in 1999, Trinidad Co., Ltd. was formally established to produce and sell bicycles in China. Trinidad has a whole industrial chain for the production of carbon fiber, aluminum alloy frames and forks, with an annual output of 2 million vehicles. The National Bicycle Testing Center, built in 2016, is one of the only three bicycle factories in the country with an international CNAS certification and testing center.
 
Although we emphasize the importance of the frame to the driving experience, but the configuration can not be ignored, especially for the entry hardtail mountain bike, the frame technology of major brands is very mature, and it is difficult to use the frame under normal use, which is the main reason why more and more manufacturers dare to promise a lifetime warranty for the frame. The damage is mainly in the parts, so the entry-level model should pay more attention to the configuration of the parts.
 
However, there is no additional emphasis here on the 30-speed configuration is better than the 27-speed configuration, and the hydraulic disc brake is better than the mechanical disc brake, which is a matter of getting what you pay for. Parts are more reliable and durable, the choice of big brand parts is the safest, Trinidad can be said to be exemplary in this regard, the whole car configuration of the transmission kit and brake system are mostly from the leading brand of bicycle accessories Shimano, non-miscellaneous comparable.
 
In order to distinguish between high, medium and low product lines, many big brands adopt the practice of "Gengzhi", and often make the entry products very "simple": thick and straight frame, poor coating, low-end configuration, as if it is a car to buy a LOGO. Nowadays, the aluminum alloy hydroforming and three-pumping tube process has been very mature, and it is a matter of course to build the frame geometry more professionally, and it will not increase a lot of costs for large car factories with an annual output of one million. Trinidad is not stingy in this regard, bicycles above 1,000 yuan basically use professional geometric shapes, and the hydroformed curved tube type with the three-pump tube process makes the frame both rigid and weight.
 
Trinidad can be said to be the price butcher of mountain biking. "X1" is a mid-to-high-end aluminum alloy bicycle from Trinida, equipped with a wire-controlled locking pneumatic fork, Shimano hydraulic disc brake and Altus 27-speed transmission kit, priced at 1699 yuan; "X7" upgraded to the mid-to-high-end Deore 30-speed package, and the oil disc has also been upgraded to a higher level of Shimano, priced at 2199 yuan, which is not inferior to the Giant model with a price of three or four thousand yuan from the perspective of configuration.
 
The most surprising thing is its carbon fiber vehicle priced at 2999 yuan "V1000", made of Toray T700 carbon fiber, including the stem and seat post are made of carbon fiber, the vehicle is 11.2 kg, equipped with front and rear Shimano DEORE 20-speed small kit and hydraulic disc brake, integrated crankset, wire locking suspension fork, SR cushion, a full set of boutique configuration, it can be said that it redefines the cost performance. We also tried to find its shortcomings, such as the wheel diameter is only 26 inches, T700 carbon fiber is more entry-level in carbon fiber, but at the price of 3000 yuan, it really can't ask for more.
 
The whole series of 26-inch wheel diameter is indeed the most embarrassing place for Trinidad at present, 26-inch wheel diameter is not comparable to the mainstream 27.5-inch and 29-inch wheel diameter in terms of performance, most of the high-end car manufacturers have discontinued 26-inch and turned to 27.5 and 29-inch models. Trinid's brand power also needs to be improved, after all, the bicycle is pedaling on the road, and the brand temperament is also an element that many consumers care about very much. However, its configuration is balanced and reliable, and the quality inspection link is strict, which is suitable for low-key and practical car enthusiasts.
