A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.

Zusammenfassung

The Rocky Mountain Element is celebrated for its lightweight, stiff carbon frame and efficient, race-tuned suspension, making it a standout in the cross-country category. Its adjustable Ride-9 geometry and pedaling-friendly suspension cater to both climbing efficiency and technical terrain handling. While it excels in speed and efficiency, some reviews note a trade-off in playfulness and cockpit clutter.

Pros
  • Lightweight, stiff carbon frame

  • Adjustable Ride-9 geometry for versatile performance

  • Efficient, race-tuned suspension

  • Good handling in technical terrain

  • Internal cable routing for dropper post and other accessories

Cons
  • Planted feel reduces playfulness

  • Cluttered cockpit with bar-mounted lockout lever

  • Shock can feel overwhelmed on long descents

März 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

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

One Ride Review: 2017 Rocky Mountain Element XC-ish full suspension mountain bike

Nov. 2016 · Tyler Benedict
