Why We Ride the Elves Vanyar Pro: Performance, Identity, and Purpose

At TEAMBSR, everything we do is intentional, from the races we choose to the message we carry. That same intention goes into the equipment we trust, and when it came to choosing our race bikes, the Elves Vanyar Pro stood out in every way.

This isn’t just a flashy carbon frame—it’s a tool built for riders who are chasing podiums, pushing limits, and making a statement while doing it.

Lightweight. Responsive. Race-Ready.

Let’s start with the specs. The Vanyar Pro is Elves’ top-tier road racing frameset, coming in at just 790g (size 52) and constructed with Toray T1000 carbon fiber. It’s stiff when you need it, smooth when it counts, and responsive enough to handle everything from technical crits to mountain attacks. Whether we’re sprinting for a finish line or grinding through a breakaway, the Vanyar Pro responds with confidence.

It’s the kind of bike that doesn’t get in your way—it gets out of the way and lets you race.

A Custom Look, A Custom Mission

One of the things we love most about Elves is how they let us bring our identity to the bike. Each Vanyar Pro in our fleet is custom-painted in TEAMBSR colors, featuring bold lines, sharp edges, and details that reflect our mission-driven brand. This isn’t a cookie-cutter setup—our bikes tell a story before we even roll off the start line.

And let’s be honest—when you're lining up at a UCI race surrounded by big-budget teams, showing up with a bike that turns heads and holds its own performance-wise? That matters.

Accessibility Without Compromise

Elves has redefined what a premium race bike can be. By going direct-to-consumer, they’re cutting out unnecessary costs and making top-tier equipment more accessible to privateers, developing teams, and athletes who hustle hard without factory contracts. That ethos matches ours perfectly.

We believe in elite performance without the elitism. The Vanyar Pro helps us deliver just that.

Tested Globally, Trusted by Us

From California crits to UCI Class 2 road races in the Caribbean, our Vanyar Pros have already seen action in high-pressure environments—and they’ve delivered every time. Riders have praised the bike’s stability in sprints, stiffness out of corners, and comfort over long race days.

We didn’t just choose the Vanyar Pro. We ride it, race it, trust it—and we’re proud to have it as part of the TEAMBSR journey.
