Overview
About this bike
Built to go fast, Rocky Mountain's Element 50 MSL is crafted from C13 high modulus monocoque carbon fiber with a tapered head tube for precise steering and a press fit bottom bracket for better power transfer. Suspension is provided by a 120mm-travel Fox 32 Float fork up front and a 120mm Fox Float shock out back to deliver trail-smoothing plushness for total control over roots, rocks, chunder-you name it. In the components department, Shimano's drivetrain and Formula's disc brakes deliver dependable shifting and braking. The DT Swiss wheels spin easily while Maxxis tires roll quickly so you can stay out and cruise all day.
