Overview
About this bike
Race-worthy speed meets trail-bike capability in Rocky Mountain's Element 970 RSL. It's crafted from Rocky's FORM Smoothwall carbon with a tapered head tube and press fit bottom bracket for an impressive combination of low weight, stiffness, and dialed handling. You blast over obstacles and keep your speed with the 100mm-travel Fox Float and 95mm-travel Fox-driven Smoothlink rear suspension. The XT/XTR drivetrain with Race Face cranks provides the get up and go with rapid, telepathic shifting. And, Shimano's legendary XT brakes let you brake later, Continental's tires let you corner harder, and Stan's tubeless-ready wheels let you accelerate faster as you go all out towards the finish.
