Elves Falath Evo Ride Review 

From Elves re tyre to frame clearance: Different 32C tires have different specs, like the Continental 32C tire size can reach up to 35C width. A Continental 28C tire size reaches up to 30C or 32C.

Now this is a review worth watching 💪 find it always useful in reviews to compare certain characteristics with other models from the same, or even different, segments. Also leaving the usual marketing poetry out of it helps to understand how it would be to ride the bike. Nice one 👌

You're the man Cam! Feel like I've been waiting years for this

As ever, a very thorough and fair review.

AWESOME REVIEW, as always 😎💯👍

Great review. Answered all my questions about this bike.

Top tier bike review as usual Cam. Thank you for uploading the comparison bike data for all to see which differentiates your content from other channels or cycling publications.😊

Great review Cam. Best looking bike you've had me thinks! Love the intergrated cockpit look plus the 1x set up. Cheers

such an awesome video Cam. Thanks!

hey Cam, just got back into cycling and even as a novice I take away so much knowledge from your channel. love the content, cheers.

Great review as always Cam. I enjoy your content very much. Hanging to see the Helios review.

Amazing honest review as always. Thanks a lot mate. 🤜🤛

Really interesting Cam .Enjoyed this one very much .Thank you

Nice one! Thanks for trooping through the project for everyone to see. Not a single one of us has ever been through a project which felt like just walking into a store and buying a bog standard bike. It's friggin beautiful BTW.

Another great video Cam 👏🏻

That is one of the most beautiful paint job ever on a road bike. Great choice on the custom paint design!

Just 45k views? This is a must watch for all bike enthusiasts! Thanks for your quality content Cam

great review of an interesting bike. Thank you Cam

Excellent review 👌🏾

That was a nice review, nice job!

Love the paint job!

Easy to listen to, enjoyed the video 😊

Been waiting for this one 😁😁😁

Great video Cam

On point with GC’s observation..

It is an interesting design and looks like there is no happy way of purchasing the right fit. Great Vlog as always Cam. I also enjoyed you on the Nero show.

Great review. You spent the time on this.

Well that was more positive that I was expecting! 👍

Just an outstanding review. I'm ordering a six pack.

Would you consider reviewing Elves Eglath pro disc model. There are 100 reciews of the falath but no Eglath... would be great to see one of the biggest cycling tubers review it. Love your videos. Thank you

I'm keen to hear more about that Polygon Helios you picked up a while back

Looking at the '22 UCI Vanyar atm. They have a UK distributor now which streamlines the whole process. Talking about hub noise. Just got some mavic wheels for the hardtail for gravel use. Now I love mavic hubs, their bearings are so smooth and have lasted longer than any I've known in 30yrs of cycling. But the hubs are so damn quiet. Had to buy a bell for the cycle paths! 😀

What an awesome, informative review! Interestingly, the steerer tube on my Falath Pro (it finally arrived after 6 months!) looks completely different. Fiberglass inside is black, and 0.1mm thick at most. In fact, in the reaming process it was machined away completely in many spots and carbon is peeping through. I haven't seen any delaminations either, although only on the bit I cut off, I don't have a way to check that non-destructively.

Great video, thanks for recommending the wheels! I am on the hunt for something cheaper, but with good value...

I really want one of these frames! It’s everything I’m looking and looks mean af. The only issue is that 25mm setback seatpost. It doesn’t allow me to get my saddle as far forward as I need. I’ve asked Elves if they’ll consider making a 0 setback post but haven’t heard anything yet. Surely I can’t be the only one needing that? It could be perfect for a TTer. The geometry is actually quite comfortable and I think the descending confidence also comes from the slightly slacker head angle than usual with aero bikes. Nice review Cam 👍🏻

What a beauty bike

Great review Cam. I often talk to the Elves UK rep as they are so cool 😎 Also you said the noisiest wheels... have you heard the Scribe wheels freehub? 🐝

Great review !! Mate you've gotta do something about that hook you're hanging the scale off. 🤣

I would love for you to review one of the other eleves frames like the eglath

I’ve got an Eglath Pro Disc a few months back. Same TH50 wheel set with a custom GT40 Gulf paint scheme. My experience has been very similar. Bars are a bit flexible at my questionable sprint power of 1200 and 82kgs so take that into your decision process. Quality comfort bike for pennies on the dollar when cross shopping Cervelo or Trek.

Cool review Cam, went to the website, looked up a full bike build price and they want 8k for the Ultegra group set. I can get the BMC road machine ONE Four for 7799. You know which one I chose, YES, the BMC

Yō bud quick tip that helps me with climbing with the girthy top tubes it some body glide on the inner thigh/knees and some on the top tube as well, goes on clear no fuss with the paint so it won't stick to you. the other thing is the long stems really effect your side to side out of the saddle but aero/climb are going to have compromises. i have a 90mm stem and it's manageable-ish.

Love it ❤️

Great work Cam. Would never buy an Elves but this type of content with more popular brands would be more something I would tune in for.

cant wait for the the polygon a8x review .. like proper riding review

Great review as always Cam ! Thankyou so much for sharing your view on the Elves. Just wish the distributor would have somewhere or someone to go to for a look see or test ride. That's what I've always felt keeps these brands from not being exposed to the masses. Absolutely love that insane loud hub BTW! I have a set of elite rims that have the screaming banshee sound and it's pure gold. Harks back to the old days as kids with footy cards to make the bike loud 😂 As always many thanks for your video, the thing looks an absolute beast 😊

A really full and frank review loved it please lets know how going forward you would compare this model Elves with your latest and stiffer BMC , as we get older Aero or Climber ? which is more important for you Cam.

nce bike review!

Hey Cam, great video as always! Was just thinking the test run times you're getting uphill now might be faster than those 3 older bikes because your weight has reduced in recent times!? Might have to start logging your weight on these tests as well 😅

Hey Cam - another great video and what a paint job! I watched the build video (great work, too), and am wondering what the 1x chainring size + cassette combo is. Also, maybe time for a fresh video on your recent 1x vs 2x experiences?

great video. i suppose the handlebar for this frame is proprietary and it has got a 3 degree flare angle. gonna be tough to find and swop to a 10 or 12 degree bar in the future.

Another fine review Cam. I’d be tempted if I didn’t just go a Polygon A7X…that would be a great one for you to trial mate, lots of value there.

I would be very interested to see the ICAN A9 or A22 in one of your future videos.

Hi Cam that was a good review and tells us more about the ride experience than many marketing led ones do. Perhaps you should log your weight or total bike/rider weight for these tests. I have been thinking about downsizing frame size too,have looked at some 52,53,54cm frames to shorten the reach but many have too low a head tube for me. This looks closer to endurance geometry such as Look 765 Optium but with that high and wide top tube. You appear similar dimensions to me,I am 178cm,88cm. inseam,about 77kg. You are 178cm, what inseam?

Always nice reviews cam... is it good to use height as means of choosing frame size when inseam seems like the more reliable way. I'm 6'1 with 6'5er legs so my height don't mean much.

nice in next video please do a review on Canyon aeroad also :P

best value out there...

That paint scheme is fantastic, reminds me of a 1960s Le Mans car, with bare aluminium.

Thanks for the depth informative review of the frame. I have been waiting for your Review before purchasing the frame as I am very keen to try it for my self. I have their Orome Wheels TH50D for the past 6 months, rode in all conditions and its really good for Money and performance! Just a quick question, I too ride 2022 BMC SLR01 in size 54 for 180cm rider with 775mm saddle height. What is your current set up on your Elves? Saddle height and Integrated handler bar reach? I'm on the fence to o pull the trigger on size 52 or 54. Thank you!

Glass fiber is for stopping possible anodisation between the expander and the carbon

Hi Cam! Great review, and fascinating bulid! I was just wondering why you don't use your chineese bikes in your other content? You build up this great beast of a bike and end up using the "standard everybody knows about" BMC in the, I would say "not bike-build-relatet" content. Is there a reason for this? Why didn't you use this bike in the "All-Time-Best-Power..."-Video for instance? Still great and inspiring stuff with the chineese bikes! Cheers from Germany!

Dig the custom vibe… interesting with the glass fibre aspect, I reckon they all do it but some hide it better?

If you are building a chinese aero bike I think Elitewheels makes the best aero wheels for the price and they are even lighter than many wheelsets for climbing because the drive wheels have carbon spokes too!

Nice video Cam, good insights. Interestingly I got an email from Winspace saying I can now purchase a Winspace direct from the Chinese website, not sure what happened to the Ausiie distributor....

Hey brother, great videos, thank you. Just curious what handle bar tape you're using there? Thanks, from New York!

Good review. When is your Helios deep dive video coming up?

Does the rear wheel/frame interface impact aerodynamics, yes, but not as much as you think. The air is already so turbulent in this region, so lamiar flow to be controlled is limited, plus there is wash from the rear wheel and legs. Closing the gap by shortenig the chainstays would (not by much) change the handling, but moreso compliance. Closing the gap by adding material would only add weight for negliable aero gain (look at the new tt shiv for example). Plus having more space allows the rider to use different tyre widths, plus limits scratching from stones or other crap that gets stuck in the rear tyre.

Thanks Cam! Appreciate your work on these videos. It looks like the down tube is not made with bottles in mind. I.e. faster without bottles, slower with bottles. While some other frame's down tubes are fatter, designed to work with round bottles, aerodynamically. Do you agree? Did your test runs have round, aero or no bottles? Looks like none. Thanks mate!

Would be good to see any rider weight differences between the climbing efforts vs speed differences

Cam, love your content and this review. Would love a comparison of the Elves frame and Canyon Aeroad. Thank you. Patreon to raise funds for an aeroad? I would pay $5-$20 for your review.

Hey Cam, just wondering if you have ever looked at Wiggles house brand wheel Prime and their new Primevera range? They seem like great value, Wiggle are pretty damn easy to deal with if things go awry and how they stack up against these Chinese brands. Interested in your thoughts, great video. Top work mate. 👍🏼

Off-topic but would love a video about your experiences riding 1x vs. 2x

Ok I'll sub

The Falath Evo is a straightline missile and feels every bit like the superbike that it is. My Specialized Allez Sprint feels very twitchy and hard in comparison. The value is off the charts too, here in Europe, the frame and handlebar combo is just over half the price of the similar Winspace T1550. That being said, I do have some stuff I'd like to see changed. Like improved heel clearance at the chainstays, zero setback seatpost option and revised geometry for the larger sizes, with longer top tubes and shorter seat tubes. But overall, the Falath Evo is awesome if it fits.

Hey Cams can you build a Mosso Road frame set? It is a famous aluminum road frame here in the Philippines second to elves...

Geometry wise I couldn't even buy the smallest frame with a 76cm inseam, stand over is 77cm. Even then I would then need a 14 -15cm stem. At 168cm I have a long torso and short legs. Actually with most of the Elves frames I would struggle to get a good fit, but with this frame it would be impossible. Not that I'm in the market far a racing frame 😂. Great review none the less Cam.

Hey Cam, is this bike the same or the new version of the Ascent Mirage (same Ascent whose wheels you tested)? Curious to know if the frame is an open mould. Cheers.

Could the 'tyre clearance' actually be an aero thing? I've seen other aero bikes that have similar space... Maybe it just performed better in a wind tunnel?

Hey :) Did You have a chance to test elves nandor mtb frame?

Are the decals removable or they are covered by the clear coat? thanks!!

What is your seatheight from the bottom bracket to the top of the saddle on this bike?

What is the make and model of that bike stand? It's very nice. Can you post a website link?

where did you get the number sticker i had a custom paint build as well but i didnt see a number option!

Will there be Polygon Helios A8X riding review?

Im trying go get over how you can fit on a 52cm fran Cam at 179cms.is that the effective top tube measurement or the seat tube? I'm 180cms and im in a 56 and a 58 too tube with a 12cm stem.

Oh by the way have you had a chance to try the ICAN A9 aero bike? I'm so interested in how it compares to winspace, yoeleo r12 and propel ...

How does it feel when comparing to the old falath pro disc?

Hey Cam, how long is your stem to compensate geometry peculiarity?

8:52 The Hope Lotus British Track Bike has entered the chat! #immoreaerothenyou

please try to get a new Seka Spear, and a Winspace Agile to compare

Elves Vanyar Frame Much Better, but much appreciated if you make a review... a new subscriber here from philippines and i hope you notice me here 😊

With regard to the faster time on the Elves, could that also be because your w/kg is higher? Didn't you say in a previous video that you weigh a bit less now?

How do the Valar wheels compare to the Hypers or Decadence? Have been eying off the Hypers but they keep increasing their prices.

What stem length are you using on those integrated HB cam? Base on that 52sze frame.

This bike looks alot like the Simplon pride 2 . which is claimed to be the fastest aero bike in the world. does it feel like one of the fastest bikes in the world? is it up there with the system six? and the simplon pride?

I tried to order a set of the wheels. 9 weeks later I asked for a eta on them and I was told they were shipped out. 1 week after that email I asked where the tracking number was and was told that they we not sent out. Than I was told they were getting some wheels in soon. But at this point I just wanted my money back, and was tired of the lies. I did get my money back but no wheels after 10 weeks.

Thanks for sharing. So if you are 176 cm and went for a 52 instead of a 54cm frame. Does it means that a 173cm person like me needs to go from a 52 to a 50cm frame?

mayI know the length of your stem in the Evo Cam? Thanks

Hi top video. Thinking of buying one, bit which size should i order. Im tall 182 cm... Which Bike size and stem length is best you think...... Thx

Yo mido 180cnt y entrepierna 81.5 que medida he de comprar de marco y de manillar , uso medidas n factor vam ostro talla 54 y manilla 420/100 . Cual seria correcto para esta Elves ?? Gracias
