Overview
About this bike
Lightning fast and raring at the gate, the Element Carbon 70 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 Elite 120mm fork and Float DPS Remote 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 powerful XT brakes, you'll stay ahead of the pack with precise cornering control. Power delivery is provided by SRAM's lightweight and ultra-durable Eagle X01/GX 1x12 drivetrain, and a Fox Transfer Performance Elite dropper seatpost puts you in the best position for charging toward the finish.
