Overview
About this bike
Born to lead the way to the podium, the Element 50 features dialed suspension performance, refined geometry, and Ride-9 adjustability to create an ultra-efficient and tunable XC race machine. Fox handles suspension damping with a 34 Float Performance 120mm fork and Float DPS Performance Elite 100mm shock to maintain positive trail contact, while the fast-rolling Maxxis Forekaster tires put the grip down when you need it most. And, thanks to Shimano's sure-stopping SLX brakes, you'll stay ahead of the pack with precise cornering control. Power delivery is provided by Shimano's legendary XT group with crisp shifting from the 1x11 drivetrain. Race Face crank, bottom bracket, and dropper post along with Rocky Mountain's own mix of aluminum components finish off this rowdy XC speed weapon.
