A lightweight full suspension XC bike, the Element was in a class of its own when we introduced it in 1996. 18 years later, the Element stays true to its racing heritage as a 29er race bike platform. Whether you’re lining up at a start line or heading out the door for an after work hammerfest, the Element’s unmatched ride quality, point-&-shoot stiffness, & traction- tuned suspension will have you waiting for your buddies at the top. The 2014 Element is the fastest, best handling full-suspension XC race bike Rocky Mountain Bicycles has ever made.
