Our First Dura-Ace Build on the New 2025 Elves Falath EVO

Welcome back to Hatton’s Cycle Workshop! In today’s video, we’re excited to bring you something truly special: our very first Shimano Dura-Ace groupset build, featured on the brand new 2025 Elves Falath EVO Aero frame. This cutting-edge bike isn’t just about next-gen aerodynamics and sleek aesthetics—every component has been thoughtfully integrated to push performance to the next level.

A Next-Generation Frame With Subtle, Yet Significant Improvements
Jamie takes us through some of the key changes from the previous iteration to the new Falath EVO. While Elves has maintained their trademark aerodynamic sculpting and minimalist design philosophy, subtle refinements in tube shaping and carbon layup have taken stiffness and comfort to new heights. The result is a bike that responds even more crisply to rider input, while maintaining that smooth, efficient ride characteristic we’ve come to expect from Elves frames.

Orome DT-Swiss Wheelset With DT 240 Hubs: A Perfect Match
As if the frame and groupset combo weren’t exciting enough, the Orome carbon wheelset laced with DT Swiss 240 hubs truly brings this build together. Jamie can’t stop raving about these hubs. Known for their precise engagement and enduring reliability, DT 240 hubs ensure that every watt you put down transfers smoothly to the road. Paired with the aerodynamic Orome rims, these wheels strike the ideal balance between durability, speed, and stability—even in challenging conditions.

Experience the Build and the Ride
We’ve poured our expertise and passion into this build, and we’re thrilled to share the process with you in the video. From unboxing the frame to painstakingly dialing in the Dura-Ace drivetrain, our goal is to give you a front-row seat to the details of a professional-quality assembly. For us, building a bike is about more than just bolting parts together—it’s about crafting a machine that will help its rider achieve their goals, whether that’s crushing weekend group rides or racing at the highest level.

A Winning Prediction—Mother Amateur Racing Triumphs
Before we wrap up, a quick nod to Jamie’s spot-on prediction: Mother Amateur Racing took the Atlantic Seaboard battle at the Old Mutual Wealth Double Century this weekend.
