The Element C70 has plenty ‘under the hood’, both up and down. Grippier tyres would make it an even better descender

Pros
  1. Low weight gives an efficient feel
  2. suspension and geometry make it very capable for its travel
Cons
  1. Expensive
  2. front end feels harsh compared to the rear

The new Element is drastically different in the geometry department than its predecessor. What did those changes mean out on the trail?

Cons
  1. Not the best on flatter trails
  2. Downhill performance may leave riders wanting bigger brakes and wider rims.

With the Element, Canadian company Rocky Mountain has made a real coup. The down-country bike climbs uphill lightly and really rocks downhill. And so well that some components of the equipment cannot quite keep up...

Pros
  1. Lightweight overall weight
  2. Outstanding downhill performance
  3. Well-balanced geometry and rear suspension performance
  4. Nimble uphill
Cons
  1. Equipment does not fully meet the downhill potential
  2. could be livelier on flat, undemanding trails
