Elves Eglath ARX (all-road)

[champagneemontagne]

LAUNCHING DECEMBER 2025 with clearance for 700×38C tyres

[Lotnik]

That's a nice looking bike. Elves can play colors too. Geometry looks OK. But they should reach 40 mm of clearance as they are some road tires in that size already.

[Krupka]

Looks like they also provide carbon cranks under their label now.

The black and silver one is beautiful

Endurance?
That geometry looks way too aggressive.
A top tube of 54.4 is paired with a head tube of 130
to get a decent head tube height, you need to go up to nearly 56 TT - far from endurance geo surely?

[McMiGHtY]

Can someone tell me what crank it is on the first picture?

Looks similar to a Cybrei.

Might be my next bike.

What do you mean, pretty short reach and really high stack.

At least for my size (58)

[klementino]

Looks great.

Interesting with even higher stack and lower reach than LightCarbon LCR018-D. At least for size 58. However, this Elves frame has smaller wheelbase and less fork offset when comparing to the LightCarbon frame. Definitely interesting combination.

I wonder what the weight will be for size 58.

I would look at stack, not head tube length. 570 definitely seems in the right territory in a M/54ish frame.

[TurboKlemi]

Front center is a bit too short. Toe overlap is certain. But that seat tube angle looks bad. 73° across all sizes?  Who wants that? If the seatpost is round I could remedy that by mounting and flipping an offset seatpost.

Remember that LCR018-D has 8mm of rise in handlebars so stack is about the same. I might get this one over the LC one if the weight is at least 100g less and if the seatpost is round.

I think they used a taller fork to get more tire clearance. I judge a frame's "endurance" by the TT vs stack. If stack > TT in a ~54cm size it's prob gonna be more comfortable. Truthfully though, this is within range of a regular road bike though

[Hualicopter]

I'm guessing it's gonna cost quite a bit more than the Lightcarbon though.

[hugovl]

Not sure why it says endurance in the Topic title.
Elves clearly mark it as an all-road performance bike on their Australian website.

The cost for the frameset is EUR 1140,-
