Significant cost savings

When asked about his experience, the Cape Bike Hire owner expressed genuine surprise at the quality of the product considering its affordable price point.

"It fits like a glove," he explained to Briefly News. "In South Africa, they were quoting me R4,600 for the same thing made with the exact same materials, and I purchased it on Temu for six or seven hundred rands, including shipping."

This shows an impressive saving of around 80% compared to local prices for an identical product. The business owner confirmed that the part did exactly the same thing, adding that he purchased it for about 20% of the price.

Exceeding expectations

The owner of the motorcycle rental company wasn’t just happy with his purchase; he was thrilled with how well it performed.

"I wouldn't say it met my expectations; it exceeded them for sure," he said.

The exhaust link pipe, also known as a mid-pipe, is an important part of the exhaust system. It connects the headers to the silencer and the rest of the system, helping gases flow smoothly from the engine. This can make a big difference to the bike’s performance and sound.

After being impressed with the exhaust link pipe, the business owner decided to order more parts from Temu.

"Once I realised how good the parts were, I ordered more. I got a radiator guard and a few other bits and bobs, and everything has worked perfectly," he said.

Since he runs a motorcycle rental business, durability is key because the bikes go through a lot of wear and tear.

"These bikes take a beating, and the equipment has held up perfectly," he confirmed. He added that he would definitely recommend Temu and will be buying again.

Other Temu customers have shared similar positive experiences with motorcycle parts purchased from the platform:

One buyer commented:

"Good quality material, with a very nice finish and includes the supports for mounting the anti-scald protector. The seller was very efficient with the delivery."

Another customer shared:

"Perfect fit. Did a 550km gravel/track adventure, and the pipe is mounted solid. Would have liked to have used a rubber mounting grommet, but it would appear it's not needed. Heat shield mounts look like they need more welding and the size is different to the original bolts. Sound and performance is 👌"

A third reviewer simply stated:

"Good quality."
