We Built a Racy All-Chinese Gravel Bike. This Was The Result

The Elves Mori AeroX is a fast gravel bike. Very fast. It’s not an open-mould frame with a name badge on the down tube; it was purpose-designed from scratch to compete at the top level in the gravel category. Elves HQ is in Shenzhen, China, with R&D in Taiwan and more than 30 distributors around the world. Luckily for us, that includes South Africa. So we decided to build up a racy gravel bike using the Elves frame and only Chinese components. This is the result.
