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.

Riassunto

The Rocky Mountain Element is celebrated for its versatility as a cross-country bike, excelling in technical terrain and climbs with a balance of agility and comfort. Its suspension design and lightweight frame contribute to efficient performance, though some note the headtube angle and travel limitations. The bike is often compared favorably to other high-performance cross-country models.

Pros
  • Capable on technical terrain

  • Lightweight and efficient for XC racing

  • Comfortable for long rides

  • Good suspension performance

  • Versatile for both climbing and descending

Cons
  • Steep headtube angle

  • Limited travel for some riders

  • High cost for premium builds

Key Quotes
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.
BIKE Magazine logoBIKE Magazine
It’s a very laterally stiff front end that, so long as you possess the strength to control it, will hold the intended line through whatever you hit.
Bikerumor logoBikerumor
SmoothLink suspension stays supple yet supportive through a wider range of gears than conventional single pivot or other four-bar suspension configurations

nov 2012 · di Andrea Sicilia

Questo test ha come oggetto la Rocky Mountain Element 970 RSL, full con ruote da 29 pollici, escursione anteriore di 100mm e posteriore di 95mm, modello 2013.
