ELVES Nandor Pro 29er XC MTB Hardtail Carbon Frame

The Nandor Pro 29er Frame is The Complete Race Ready XC Hardtail Frame.

Elves engineers redesigned 2022 new Nandor Pro 29er hardtail frame, it is the third generation of Nandor 29er frame, two weight version available: superlight(SL) version and standard version. The Nandor Pro 29er standard version is 980g (15” unpainted frame,30% T1000 +70% T800 Toray Carbon), Elves engineers add 10% T1000 Toray carbon and 10% Mitsubishi M40 directional high tensile carbon in Nandor Pro 29er superlight version ensure its weight get to 900g (15” unpainted frame, 40% T1000 +50% T800+10% M40). Different layup schedules and materials deliver superlight 29er has supreme stiffness, strength and lighter, its weight is 80 grams lighter than the Nandor Pro 29er standard version.

Reduced frame weight is all good, however, we know that your bike is an extension of your lifestyle, one unique design and the coolest looking bike will let you stand out from local race. Nandor Pro 29er innovative designs and individually color will deliver you the perfect ride. Elves engineers created the “X” headtube, they think they need do something when finishing the full internal cable routing design—it seems like the headtube is a little big! But they insist on maintaining the trapezoidal downtube design and keeping all cables looking clean and uncluttered, so they designed the “X” headtube innovatively--A hole is in huge headtube! The hole become a link between the toptube and downtube, we used different lay-up schedules and materials to make the hole, which stiffened the headtube by minimizing the headtube area twist deformation when swerving, we believe the trapezoidal downtube and “X” headtube can help channel every watt of rider power to the road and to resist cornering forces and ensure precision steering, and delivers instantaneous response and optimal power transfer.

The Nandor Pro 29er frame is the complete race ready XC hardtail frame. It has a pure racing geometry with longer reach and slacker headtube angles for more confident high-speed descending, you can equip the OROME Crosselite one-piece integrated handlebar (-22° drop stem) and HPS04 headsets for your Nandor Pro 29er frame, you will get a visually stunning and clean XC hardtail frameset.





Functional Race Geometry for Cross-Country Professionals
The ELVES Nandor Pro 29er XC MTB Hardtail Carbon Frame is engineered to meet the demands of competitive cross-country cyclists focusing on 29-inch wheel setups. Its tailored racing geometry, incorporating longer reach and slacker headtube angles, supports high-speed descents with confidence and accurate steering. Designed primarily for performance-driven builders and teams, this carbon XC bike frame is compatible with specialized XC components, facilitating system integration and fine-tuning for race-specific requirements. This solution addresses the needs of riders seeking both professional-level stiffness and agility in their mountain bicycle frame.

Advanced Carbon Layup and Lightweight Engineering
Constructed using a precise blend of Toray carbon fibers, the frame balances stiffness and weight through two material variants: a standard 30% T1000 combined with 70% T800 Toray carbon, and a superlight mix incorporating 40% T1000, 50% T800, and 10% Mitsubishi M40 fibers. Weighing approximately 980g for the standard and 900g for the SL 15” frame, this carbon mountain bike frame employs a trapezoidal downtube and an “X” headtube with full internal cable routing. These technical features enhance power transfer efficiency and maintain aerodynamically clean lines essential for high-performance XC racing setups.

Industry-Relevant Applications for Competitive MTB Builds
Ideal within the competitive mountain biking industry, this disc MTB frame supports advanced race builds targeting cross-country events requiring lightweight frames with a superior stiffness-to-weight ratio. Its geometry and component compatibility allow usage in prototype development, suspension testing, and custom race assemblies. This frame is instrumental in producing reliable, race-ready bicycles that deliver consistent handling performance under dynamic trail conditions, while supporting aftermarket customization options required by professional teams and OEM partners.


Product Advantages

Structural Design and Material Integration Benefits
The Nandor Pro frame benefits from a modular design philosophy incorporating an “X” headtube that structurally enhances rigidity while accommodating full internal cable routing for streamlined assembly. The trapezoidal downtube optimizes torsional stiffness and power transmission, critical in competitive XC scenarios. Variants in carbon layup, including the inclusion of Mitsubishi M40 in the superlight option, allow precise tuning of mechanical properties. This MTB frame architecture supports seamless integration with high-spec XC components, increasing system compatibility and reducing maintenance complexity.

Performance Efficiency and User-Centric Design Features
From a performance standpoint, the Nandor Pro 29er frame delivers an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio that enables responsive handling and efficient power transfer during races. Its geometry offers stable high-speed control without compromising agility, crucial for competitive trail conditions. The clean internal routing minimizes clutter and mechanical drag, enhancing reliability and simplifying cable management for professional mechanics. These design elements cumulatively increase rider efficiency, making this carbon XC bike frame a durable and adaptable solution optimized for top-level use cases.
