Light. Stiff. Fast. Smooth. Precise.
To name a few things you can expect from the new Element. Designed to strike the perfect balance between lightweight efficiency and technical precision, the Element is ready for anything, whether you're racing, exploring the backcountry, or shredding singletrack.

SmoothLink SL™ Flex Pivot
A new addition to the Element is the introduction of the Smoothlink SL Flex Pivot. By eliminating the traditional pivot, we’re not only able to shave weight, but also increase stiffness in the rear triangle. Lighter and more refined, expect that same great ride quality of our traditional Smoothlink design that puts the Element ahead of its competitors.
Lighter than ever before
We tuned the frame design with an all-new carbon layup and flex stay suspension design to save over 350g in weight. Meanwhile we increased frame stiffness in key areas to improve performance when on the gas.
Progressive geometry
Long, low, and slack angles that confidently tackle any surprises along the way.
Ride-4™ adjustment system
Quickly fine-tune the geometry with a single Allen key. Four configurations are possible thanks to one rotating chip on each side.
All the mounts
Most Element frames feature an accessory mount underneath the top tube, forward of the shock, and two lower bottle mounts capable of carrying full-sized water bottles, so you’ll be ready for anything.*
*Accessory and water bottle mounts vary based on frame size:
XS = 1x 650ml bottle
SM = 650ml + x Fidlock 450ml bottles
MD - XL = 2x 770ml bottles
Increased service life
Upgraded dual-row, high-capacity bearings at the seatstay junction for increased service life.
