Element Carbon 50

Element Carbon 50

Element Carbon 50

Rated 4.3 out of 5

Based on 4 reviews

Overview

Intended use: Cross country

Rear travel: 120

Description

Purpose-built to hit the precise sweet spot between lightweight cross country climbing prowess and technical precision, the Element is the best of both worlds and more. New-levels of climbing efficiency guarantees that oh-so-sweet feeling of riding someone off your wheel. Added levels of stability on fast descents and a pseudo-aggressive seat tube angle provides surprising levels of confidence on tight single track and hairy descents. Light. Stiff. Fast. Smooth. Precise. You’re now in your Element—always.

Obsessed

I'm obsessed with this bike. It's fast AF. It has tackled huge lines in Sedona (hi line, slim shady), huge lines in Phoenix (national) it has raced and gotten podiums. I keep meaning to update to a newer bike but I just love this damn bike. So. Much

Great bike when it works

I absolutely love this bike when it works. Rides amazing. The issue is I have now gone through 2 rear hubs and a front hub in 3 months (it spent 3 weeks in the shop for the first rear hub). I understand that Rocky Mountain does not make the rear hub but when I talked to them they openly admitted that they knew there was an issue with that hub. It seems outrageous to me that this is being specked on a $7000 bike.

I love Rocky and like I said, it rides great. But this will likely be my last and I would discourage anyone else from buying this bike.

Best Do-it-all bike ever! Such a agile grippy machine, a weapon in the descends!

I changed the wheels & tires & brakes for more fun down. This thing is a weapon! Fast, agil, super grippy, best technical climber i ever had, and on the descends it plays way over its „segment“.

I would have choosen the orange one, but no one was available..

Amazing climbing ability

I rode an Element at Sedona Mtn Bike Festival and LOVED it. The geometry was absolutely perfect for me! This bike climbs like no other. I’m now looking to purchase a carbon Element, but they seem to be in very short supply.
