Elves Nandor Pro 29 Carbon XC MTB Frameset
The Elves Nandor Pro 29 is a lightweight carbon XC hardtail mountain bike frameset built for riders who want a fast, responsive 29er platform for cross-country riding, racing and trail training.
Built with Toray T800 and T1000 carbon fibre, the Nandor Pro 29 combines a light frame, Boost rear spacing, internal cable routing and modern XC geometry for a sharp, efficient hardtail build.
With clearance for 29 x 2.3" tyres and a recommended fork travel range of 80–120mm, it gives you a strong base for building a fast XC bike around your preferred fork, wheels, drivetrain and finishing kit.
Want this frameset built into a complete MTB?
We can build this frameset into a full custom mountain bike with suspension fork, wheels, drivetrain, tyres, cockpit and finishing kit selected to suit how you ride.
Frames are painted from raw, so custom builds usually take around 5–8 weeks, depending on paint timing and parts availability.
Suspension fork is not included, so get in touch before ordering and we can talk through the right setup for your build.

The Nandor Pro 29 is for riders who want a light, efficient XC hardtail that climbs well, accelerates quickly and still feels confident when the trail points down.
It’s designed with a longer reach and slacker head tube angle than older XC frames, giving it a more modern feel for faster riding and more technical cross-country trails.
