Elves bicycles are high-performance carbon framesets designed with advanced engineering, tight tolerances, and integrated systems. As such, they must only be assembled, serviced, and maintained by suitably qualified and experienced professional bicycle mechanics using the correct tools, torque values, and manufacturer-approved procedures.

By choosing to build or oversee the build of an Elves bicycle, the builder assumes full responsibility and liability for:

• Correct installation and torqueing of all components

• Compatibility of parts used in the build

• Adherence to all applicable safety standards and manufacturer specifications

• The structural integrity, safety, and roadworthiness of the completed bicycle

Elves Bikes accepts no responsibility or liability for damage, failure, injury, or loss arising from incorrect assembly, improper component selection, misuse, or reliance on third-party instructional content.

If you are in any doubt at any stage of the build process, we strongly recommend that you stop immediately and consult a qualified professional mechanic or an authorised Elves Bikes distributor or assembly partner.

Your safety is paramount, and correct professional assembly is essential to ensure optimal performance, longevity, and rider protection.
