The ELVES Amanyar 1.0 is a budget-friendly carbon triathlon/TT frameset praised for its aerodynamic design, stiffness, and adjustability, but reviewers note potential flexibility in the top tube, twitchiness in crosswinds, and concerns about the missing C-tube and weight limit.
Pros
- Aerodynamic design with integrated cable routing and attractive paint options (e.g., chameleon)12
- Stiff bottom bracket area with large carbon concentration1
- Highly adjustable cockpit (extensions, base bar, stack height) with plenty of fitting flexibility32
- Integrated hydration system with internal bladder and bottle cages included32
- Good value for money compared to other triathlon frames32
- Comfortable fit and good weight for a triathlon bike (around 9-9.5kg without accessories)2
- Straightforward to build with all necessary parts provided2

Cons
- Top tube has some trampoline/bouncy feeling (possibly due to T1000/T800 mix or lack of seat stay)1
- Frame can feel twitchy in crosswinds (though reviewer notes this might be a fitting issue)1
- Setup with this frame feels heavy for climbing (9.8kg total bike weight)1
- Missing C-tube raises concerns about potential flex or durability, especially near the 100kg weight limit3
- External blip box could be better integrated/hidden3
- Hydration system plug may not be flush, risking leaks on bumpy roads3
- Limited to specific bottle types (e.g., Elite bottle) in hydration space; normal bottles may not fit3
