a triathlon frame built for performance
The Elves Amanyar 1.0 is a highly specialized triathlon frame, developed by the brand Elves Bikes to meet the demands of competitors looking for speed, stiffness, and maximum integration.
Made of carbon Toray T800 with T1000 reinforcements, it combines lightness, stiffness, and reliability in critical areas such as the bottom bracket and the head tube.
Its design relies on a aggressive TT-style geometry, allowing you to maintain an aerodynamic position over long distances. The truncated tube profiles optimize airflow to reduce drag and maximize speed.
The frame also integrates essential modern elements for triathlon:
- Fully internal cable routing
- Bottom bracket T47 threaded (reliable and easy to maintain)
- Shimano / SRAM groupset compatibility
- Disc brakes
- Modular aerodynamic cockpit
- Integrated hydration system up to 2.25 L
Result: a frame designed for competition, from the sprint format to the Ironman, with priority given to pure performance.

My review of the seller
Elves Bikes is a Chinese brand specializing in high-performance carbon frames, known for its excellent value for money and its ability to offer customized products.
Overall: a reliable brand, but with a direct-factory model that involves certain trade-offs (customer service, assembly, etc.).
