CYCLING – TEAM Bahrain Victorious have announced a new multi-year partnership with Elilee, with the innovative Chinese brand of high-performance cranksets and power metres joining the team from the 2026 season.
Founded in 2021 by Shu Li under Yun Shu Industrial Design, Elilee is one of the fastest-growing companies in the cycling components sector. Specialising in advanced cranksets and power metres, the brand has quickly established a reputation for technical excellence, lightweight construction and reliability at the highest level of the sport.
As Bahrain Victorious enters a new chapter with Bianchi, the team undertook a comprehensive review of its component set-up to ensure every detail supports elite performance. Following extensive testing across multiple crank and power metre solutions on the market, Elilee emerged as the standout choice, combining precision data, low weight, and proven durability under race conditions.
Bahrain Victorious head mechanic Filip Tisma said: “As we moved on to a new bike this season, we took the opportunity to reassess our full component set-up and tested several crank and power metre solutions available on the market. Elilee excelled during our testing, delivering an impressive combination of lightweight performance and reliability, which is crucial.
Elilee’s commitment to innovation, design and safety aligns closely with Bahrain Victorious’ performance-first ethos and its focus on marginal gains across every area of the team’s operation. Built for riders who demand precision and efficiency, Elilee’s products reflect the same mindset that drives Bahrain Victorious in competition at the highest level of professional cycling.
Li commented: “Elilee is proud to join forces with World Tour team Bahrain Victorious in a partnership focused on continuous performance improvement. This collaboration reflects our ambition to perform in a world where every detail counts, alongside a team with whom we share the same vision and drive for the future.”
Through this multi-year partnership, Bahrain Victorious and Elilee will work closely on product development, performance optimisation, and innovation, using real-world feedback from the highest level of professional cycling to continually evolve and improve.
