Climb fast. Descend even faster. Welcome to your Element.
Purpose-built to hit the precise sweet spot between lightweight cross country climbing prowess and technical precision, the Rocky Mountain Element is the best of both worlds and more. New-levels of climbing efficiency guarantees that oh-so-sweet feeling of riding someone off your wheel. Added levels of stability on fast descents and a pseudo-aggressive seat tube angle provides surprising levels of confidence on tight single track and hairy descents. Light. Stiff. Fast. Smooth. Precise. You’re now in your Element—always.
