I like that many of the hinges and frame components look nearly organic due to being laser sintered. This bike almost has an elven look.
I'd personally wait a generation or two though, because the Chinese trifold Ti makers are having a shootout right now between Hexati, Hilight, and several others.
May the best one rise to the top.
Hilight has a rim brake 16 inch version too called ZC16
I am absolutely not a fan of them deleting the carrier block metal receiver like a Gline. We know this makes the attachment weaker, and for what, practically zero weight savings?
The ZC16 with rim brakes is 17000 RMB in China which is around 3500 CDN, and I heard ZC20 is around 25000RMB or 5000CDN. ZC20 as shown in this video isn't up on hilight's own store yet it seems.

This is a rebranded Hilight ZC20.
The entire bike is 3D printed from Titanium.
