Overview
About this bike
Get out and go fast on Rocky Mountain's Element 950 RSL. It's crafted from Rocky's Smoothwall carbon and FORM aluminum with a tapered head tube and press fit bottom bracket for low weight, stiffness, and responsiveness. Up front, a 100mm-travel Manitou Marvel Pro leads the charge, and out back a remote-controlled Fox Float dishes out 95mm of trail-soothing suspension for increased control over the terrain. The rest of the specs are just as sweet. A Shimano XT drivetrain is powered by Race Face cranks; Shimano hydraulic discs provide strong braking; 29-inch Stan's ZTR wheels spin easily; Maxxis tires roll quickly; and the Race Face bar and stem are light yet tough so you can stay out and go fast all day.
