Résumé

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

Rocky Mountain Element 999 RSL T.O. review

mars 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

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

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

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

Rocky Mountain Element 950 RSL review

juil. 2014

This bike tears up technical climbs with a relentless agility, and is almost as remorseless on steep descents filled with rocks, roots and sizeable drops–despite having a steepish 70.6-degree headtube angle.
