I would say 30% max is bamboo, the rest is the usual mix of aluminium, steel and rubber for the tyres. The bamboo struts, that make the main frame, seem to be taped together, not sure how safe that is?, and most definitely will not be as strong as a welded a aluminium frame. 100% gimmick bike for lefties. HTH.
You certainly get wooden bikes and they look good but surely there's a reason we use metal? Doesn't warp, stronger etc.
In the far east like Hong Kong they put scaffolding right up skyscrapers made of bamboo, so I've no doubt it's good at supporting a load force down the shaft but would you trust your nads from a nasty accident from a frame braking off road when the stresses are totally against what the plant evolved to support?
