Field Test: 2022 Rocky Mountain Element - Radical Geometry Meets Low Weight

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?

Highs
  • Dialled geometry

  • Very capable descender

  • Comfortable and light

  • Versatile

Lows
  • Not the best on flatter trails

  • Downhill performance may leave riders wanting bigger brakes and wider rims.

Rocky Mountain Element 999 RSL T.O. review

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

Highs
  • Crazy fast, wonderfully capable, carbon everywhere, stout Fox 34 fork, Reverb dropper post, SRAM Eagle

Lows
  • Delicate Ikon tires, Valor wheels overwhelmed, costs more than most used cars
