Does anyone have Info when this Frame will be available widely? Or anyone here already bought/built it?

The tavelo website says ,,not in stock" and only lists the silver Pop Color. The german Tavelo website sells it for a price way too high and even offers the SL Version (which was never announced afaik).

This all seems so weird still...
It is available to purchase at underdogscycling.cc. Contact the guy check what he has on order already if you want one. More colors are available than silver.

They are not allowed to ship to germany unfortunately.

The german website tavelo-bikes de lists it for 2.500€ / 2.800$ (including cockpit)  :D which is ridiculous

Price is ridiculous. If I wanted semi aero bike with room for 35c tires I would just go for light carbon LCR d020

There is weight differences between Arden and lcr020...if you want light bike you go with Arden... If you dont care about weight you go with Lcr020 ;)

In Pandapodium it's $1899 + $200-250 for the cockpit

Man I am rooting for Tavelo as we approach 2027. It's no secret the Tavelo Arow is my all-time favorite bike from the premium Chinese brands.

I've met the owners of Tavelo. While they've had some hiccups and delays over the past 9-12 months, they are very perceptive and calculated folks. Lots of passion for actual bikes. None of this has to do with price I know. And yes this is one of the few times I am very biased towards a single brand.

It's weird. The way both Quick Pro and X-Labs have swooped in to takeover this marketshare here in the USA in 2026, I was really hoping Tavelo would have a response earlier in the year.

I still think the non-SL Arden is gonna be a hit. Having spoken to hundreds of competitive athletes, the only two real alternatives to Western brands from their perspective are QuickPro and Tavelo. Not even Winspace at this point. Those two brands have reached a certain level of brand cache and proven reliability that people trust. And will happily pay the price tag especially.

I have ordered a Tavelo Arden in Size L in glossy black (white decals, not the POP version) via a belgian shop. A few days before Pandapodium launched it...

It should arrive in a few days. will share how the build is going here (or probably ask some noob-questions if i am running into problems)

Tavelo is a "premium" Chinese bike brand ?

Do you think 2400 USD doesn't place it in there?

I think this is only European surcharge. In china it cost only 9999rmb ~1400Euros.

I ordered an Arden from a local retailer here in Sydney a fortnight ago. I reached out to Tavelo via email to ask them about stem options and got no response. Even after a follow up email.

I'm really looking forward to receiving the frame but i'm also left a little sour that they're slack on communication. Particularly with just how fast and receptive so many of the other Chinese brands are.

This will be my first disc brake roadie. I've been on the rim brake nothing integrated train since forever. Does anyone know if i need anything additional to run a traditional bar and stem combo? I've got my fit dialled in but i want to be doubly sure before i go buy an integrated bar and stem. Cheers

Do you maybe know where can you order this frame direct from China to EU?

Directly from Tavelo or through some EU distribution. We can do that also.
Premium equipment.
