Elves have began teasing their newest aero body on social media. It’s referred to as Falath EXP, and it’s… bizarre. At first look, it appears like a really quick bike. Discover the vast tubes and the cutouts for wheels within the down tube and seat tube. Probably the most uncommon characteristic is how the seat submit connects to the body, resembling a mix of the just lately launched Colnago Y1RS and Trek Madone.
I perceive the necessity to stand out and create a uniquely designed bike. We first noticed it with Trek Madone (IsoFlow), then with SEKA Spear (WindEye), after which Colnago Y1RS. Nevertheless, I discover this body fairly odd in footage. I’m curious the way it’s going to look in individual.
From the data launched to this point, the Falath EXP is predicted to hit the market in March 2025. The letters in its identify stand for E – Elite, X – Excessive, P – Efficiency—primarily simply advertising buzzwords. No aero information has been revealed but, simply daring claims that this bike pushes aerodynamics to the subsequent degree. That is one thing that Chinese language bike manufacturers nonetheless wrestle with. They usually publish daring claims however fail to ship goal information (honoring the exceptions).
The worth for the Malaysian market is about at 5,445 RM (1219 USD) for the frameset, together with handlebars. I anticipate a better worth within the US and Europe. Nonetheless, the value appears comparatively affordable in comparison with different well-liked Chinese language street frames.
As common with Elves, the body will are available a number of sizes (44–61), making it appropriate for riders between 145 cm and 200 cm. A particular girls’s version (145–155 cm) will even be obtainable. I’m genuinely curious to see how these smaller sizes will look. The tire clearance needs to be 32mm.
The Falath EXP is suitable solely with disc brakes however will be geared up with both mechanical or digital shifting. It meets the EN14766 and ISO 4210:2014 security requirements and comes with a five-year guarantee.
What do you consider this body? Let me know within the feedback or be a part of the dialogue in my newly created Fb group!
