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.

Wheel Size: 29" 

Our Take

 Rocky Mountain Re-designed the Element here for 2022 and looked to check a lot of the boxes for todays "Cross Country" bike. Often coined as a down-country category, the Element provides great all mountain capability with exceptional pedaling efficiency. This bike fits perfectly into Rocky Mountains biggest event of the year, the BC Bike Race. This is the ultimate weapon for those who wants a go everywhere, do everything time bike. 

The Element A10 packs a lot of punch into their entry level price point. The 1X Deore drivetrain, Dropper post, and Ride-4 adjustable frame provide the rider all the tools needed to experience this bike to the fullest while not breaking the bank.
