For This Bike
Dec 2021 · Henry Quinney
The new Element is drastically different in the geometry department than its predecessor. What did those changes mean out on the trail?
Dialled geometry
Very capable descender
Comfortable and light
Versatile
Not the best on flatter trails
Downhill performance may leave riders wanting bigger brakes and wider rims.

The new Rocky Mountain Element is no longer a BC-ready XC bike, it's an XC-ready BC bike, meant for all sizes and all budgets.

Built for epic stage races and big days in the saddle, the new Element sees some major revisions for 2022...

A cross country bike that fears no trail
Mar 2017 · Russell Eich
An insanely fast, XC race bike that's eager to take on the technical lines. Buy if you have deep pockets and want an insanely fast, trail-bike capable Canadian singletrack missile
Crazy fast, wonderfully capable, carbon everywhere, stout Fox 34 fork, Reverb dropper post, SRAM Eagle
Delicate Ikon tires, Valor wheels overwhelmed, costs more than most used cars
Feb 2017
The Rocky Mountain Element is a no-nonsense, race-bred steed with a thirst for pure speed.
