About the Rocky Mountain Element C50 29" Mountain Bike '22
The Rocky Mountain Element C50 29" Mountain Bike is specially built to hit the precise sweet spot between lightweight cross country climbing prowess and Technical precision, making this bike the best of both worlds and more. This bike is made with Smoothwall™ Carbon which uses one of the world's most sophisticated carbon processes to deliver industry-leading stiffness-to-weight ratio, improved ride quality, and increased durability. Stop on a dime with the Shimano SLX 2 Piston disc brakes with metal brake pads, and crank up the gears with reliable Shimano XT shifters, drivetrain, and crankset.
Enjoy the Smoothlink™ suspension with Fox 34 Float Performance shock that is effective yet stubble when you're on the pedals and across a wide range of gears, thanks to the controlled end-stroke and a rate-curve that feels more capable than the 120 mm travel would suggest and fully adjustable with the Ride-4™ adjustment system. 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 with the Rocky Mountain Element C50 29" Mountain Bike.
