Aliexpress Singles Day 2024

I think the same either, maybe I save some bucks not buying it?

Do you have Seamoon booster?

If you boost Loki GTX or Yinhe Big Dipper, I think those rubbers are much closer to ZGX. Even Volant Phoenix boosted is closer to ZGX.

Yes you told me some days ago, I'll deepen my Loki GTX knowledge, there's also a GTX pro version

P.S. Also the name sounds like my ZGX

Asked them to send me pic, slightly heavier then I would have liked but thats the only one close to what I want. Finger cross at least i think it is definitely the inner version im getting.

It will be less than 90gr without the plastic.

I think so too, although a bit slow in response, so far im impressed by their customer service.
Either way, hopefully, it can be a good practice blade

Is this the inner zlc version?

 

[hayhayc86]

as far as i know, this should be the zhou yu inner version which is just normal ALC?
The w81 have so many version it becomes rather confusing.

Couldn’t resist the temptation but on the other hand I’m done for this year

 

[Fedex78]

This Loki W81 is tempting but too many versions and also not clearly advertised by vendors

yea its rather confusing. I had to go onto baidu and bilibili to do quite a bit of reading. I 'think' the zhou yu version is the latest. I might well be wrong though.
First there is a batch of w81, then there are the special production 'sp' versions that claim to be using super ALC/ZLC. Then there is this Zhou Yu version with his signature on the handle but back to normal alc/zlc depends on inner or outer. Im sure there will be other who is more educated and knowledgeable and can correct me if im wrong.

It's KLC 1nd not ALC. The outer are ALC though.

And only the Loki Arthur King have Super carbon, even the W81 SP has 'normal' carbon : https://flbook.com.cn/c/VubLi8CH4p

Sorry for asking in this thread, but looks it gathers a lot of Aliexpress veterans. Are there expected to be any discounts due to Black Week at the end of November on Ali? I have still few things on my list and not sure if it makes sense to wait for promo

They somehow call their carbon with different name in different pictures. Yes their sp version call super carbon but someone on this forum pointed it it's just normal carbon.

It say aromatic carbon on the picture but who knows what it actually is. Problem of poor translation from Chinese factories

Singles Day sale isn't over yet either. You could just put in your order now, you still have about 30 hours

Aromatic is Aramid/Kevlar/KLC. Non, they don't call their SP version 'super carbon', look at the catalogue.

The problem is that there are old versions or "special" stock remaining going around. The current top loki blades arent that confusing... w81 basically has Outer carbon koto top ply with alc (viscaria) and inner carbon Limba top with Aramid firber (long 5 or similar) every other current version are the same 2 compositions but maybe premium selected materials, signed by zhou yu etc.

I really hope the W81 is similar to Long 5. It looks stiffer and shorter than Long 5...so I'm kinda praying that I don't hate it

Pray to not hate and me with joker laughing
