Overview
About this bike
When you're racing at the top of your category, you need a bike that can match your level of skill and tenacity to stay ahead of the pack. The Element Carbon 99 is Rocky Mountain's pinnacle XC race machine, built with dialed suspension performance, refined geometry, and the unique customization capabilities of Rocky Mountain's Ride-9 system to create an ultra-efficient and tunable carbon champion. Fox Factory expertly handles suspension damping with a 34 Float 120mm fork and Float DPS Remote 100mm shock to ensure effective contact with the trail, while fast-rolling Maxxis Forekaster tires paired to Rocky Mountain 24XC Carbon rims put the grip down when you need it most. And, thanks to SRAM's light and powerful Level Ultimate brakes, you can blaze through turns and charge technical descents with confident control. Elite-level aptitude manifests throughout the build, including SRAM's XX1 Eagle carbon crankset and shifting components for flawless function under the most demanding conditions, and a Fox Transfer Factory dropper seatpost puts you in the best position for charging toward the finish.
