Element Alloy 50

I'm almost 57, 6'5", 205lbs. The XL size feels great with a swap to 40mm rise handlebars and a seat with more padding for my aging backside. I wanted a bike that climbed well, handled well, and decended trails with stability and confidence. Moving on from a 6 year old trail bike with 27.5 wheels and I'm happy to be back on 29r's. I don't do drops or crazy stuff so the suspension travel is just fine for me. This bike climbs better/easier yet it handles really well on speedy descents - don't feel like I had to make any compromize. Nice job Rocky Mountain

I love this bike. It’s really beautiful. But I keep having the same problem. Whether the rear derailleur is engaged or not, the chain keeps hitting the rear frame… I’m frustrated by it. Otherwise, riding this bike is great.
