The Rocky Mountain Element Alloy 30 (29") 2023 mountain bike is the perfect ride for those who crave the thrill of cross-country adventures while not shying away from technical trails. This bike shines in its capability to mesh lightweight climbing efficiency with a stable and confident ride on descents, making it ideal for intermediate to advanced riders looking to enhance their skills and enjoy the trails. Whether you're sprinting up the hills or carving down rocky paths, the Element is designed to bring out the best in your ride.
At the heart of the Element is its FORM™ Alloy frame, which is engineered for both strength and weight savings. The full sealed cartridge bearings contribute to an efficient performance while the pressed fit bottom bracket enhances overall stiffness, keeping you in control. It's also equipped with internal cable routing to provide a clean aesthetic while protecting the cables from mud and debris, ensuring you've got a bike that not only performs well but looks good doing it.
The bike features an impressive 120mm of travel courtesy of its RockShox Recon Gold fork. The specific offsets for 29" wheels amplify the bike’s handling, giving you the precision you need to tackle tight single tracks and steep descents alike. Coupled with a pseudo-aggressive seat tube angle, you're going to feel planted and secure while maintaining the agility required for technical trails.
When it comes to the groupset, the Shimano Deore shines in providing smooth and reliable shifting. Whether you're tackling steep climbs or fast-paced rides, you'll appreciate the consistent performance that comes with this component. The Shimano MT4100 brakes ensure you have stopping power when you need it most. With 180mm rotors front and back, comfort and control are yours as you take on diverse terrains.
The WTB ST Light i27 TCS 2.0 wheels are tubeless ready, contributing to a smooth ride with reduced chances of pinch flats. Less maintenance means more time out on the trails for you. At 29 inches, the wheels are designed for rolling over obstacles with ease, empowering you to tackle everything from rocky terrain to muddy paths without losing momentum.
The Element comes well-equipped, ready to hit the trails straight out of the box with its tubeless tape and valves included. This thoughtful inclusion ensures you can transition to tubeless quickly, enjoying the benefits of a reduced tire weight and increased grip.
