Element Carbon 90

Element Carbon 90

Rated 4.0 out of 5

Based on 1 review

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.

Amazing but…

Bike is amazing. Reminds me of my ‘18 Instinct c90.

Only complaint is the front hub. Why not at least a dt 350 to match the rear at this price? Already blown through it, rough bearings after 5 rides and squeaky as hell.
