Overview
About this bike
Hold on to your helmet—this ride's about to get wild! The Element 990 RSL BC Edition takes the Element's proven race characteristics and cranks up the fun with gravity-oriented components for maximum versatility. With big-hit performance coming from the plush RockShox Pike fork and Monarch RT3 shock, and customizable geometry from the Ride-9 adjustable suspension system, you get the best of both XC race and free-flowing trail worlds in just one bike. Beefy Maxxis tires paired with Stan's ZTR Arch rims make easy work of rock gardens and technical climbs, while the Race Face Turbine Cinch crankset mated to Shimano's XTR shifter/derailleur combo gives you impressive shifting performance in a svelte package. And, thanks to Shimano's powerful XT brakes, you can blaze through turns with confident control. A RockShox Reverb Stealth dropper seatpost lets you get low for locked-in handling, and an 800mm Race Face SixC carbon handlebar provides the leverage to rail your way to the finish.
