ELVES Nandor Pro 29er XC MTB Hardtail Carbon Frame

The ELVES Nandor Pro 29er XC MTB Hardtail Carbon Frame is the redesigned 2022 third-generation Nandor 29er hardtail, built for riders who demand lightweight speed, race-ready stiffness, and precise cross-country handling. It is available in two versions: the standard version, which weighs 980g for a 15” unpainted frame and uses a 30% T1000 + 70% T800 Toray carbon layup, and the superlight (SL) version, which weighs just 900g for a 15” unpainted frame thanks to an upgraded 40% T1000 + 50% T800 + 10% Mitsubishi M40 directional high tensile carbon construction. With different layup schedules and premium materials, the SL version is 80 grams lighter while delivering supreme stiffness, strength, and reduced weight. Price: From KSh 110,500.00 to KSh 143,000.00.

Reduced frame weight is only part of the story, because your bike is also an extension of your lifestyle and personality. The Nandor Pro 29er combines innovative design with individually styled color options to help you stand out at local races and on the trail. ELVES engineers created the distinctive “X” headtube to complement the full internal cable routing system while keeping the front end clean and uncluttered. By linking the top tube and downtube through a carefully engineered opening, the X headtube helps stiffen the front triangle, minimize torsional deformation during cornering, and improve precision steering. Combined with the trapezoidal downtube, this design channels every watt of rider power efficiently to the trail while delivering instantaneous response and optimal power transfer.
