Description:
Can a high-performance aero road bike be light, fast, and still budget-friendly? In this video, I build a value-optimized Elves Falath that shaves off over 500 grams and saves up to $1500 compared to traditional high-end aero builds—without sacrificing performance.
By skipping the front derailleur and going with a 1x drivetrain + lightweight chainring setup, plus choosing a smart value carbon wheelset, this build stays aero, responsive, and efficient.
What You’ll See:
How I saved 500g with drivetrain, cockpit and wheel choices:
Front derailleur delete: cleaner, lighter, simpler
Chainring optimization for real-world riding
Affordable yet fast wheelset selection
Cockpit weight and position adjustment
Weight & Cost Breakdown:
✅ ~500g weight savings from:
• Front derailleur removal
• Lighter chainring combo
• Value carbon wheelset
• Cockpit adjustments
💰 Estimated cost savings: ~$1500 vs. Initial derailleur, cockpit and wheel set-up
Build Highlights:
Frame: Elves Falath Aero
Drivetrain: 1x setup with optimized chainring
Wheels: Budget carbon aero wheelset
Cockpit: Low budget
Weight: Lightened by ~500g
Total Cost: ~$3,500 (vs ~$6,000+ for similar spec)
If you're looking to ride fast without overspending, this Elves Falath value build proves you don't need $5K to go aero.
