Editorial Review
A Proven performer, still going strong
LONG LASTING: The front triangle utilizes a design that has proven itself over its 12-year lifetime. The formed down tube is diamond shaped at the bottom-bracket junction for increased stability, while a special bend at the top tube gives increased fork clearance.
LINKED UP: Rocky's 3D Link single-pivot suspension design is one of the stiffest in the business and it's also one of the most continuously successful at a time when many bike makers change designs almost yearly.

Review By Laurence, Rides for Fitness:I have been riding single track for a couple of years. I switched to the Element 50 this spring, I love it. I have constructed my own trails in my back yard, lots up climbs, tight turns, and sharp downs. The Element 50 handles it all, it is the a great trail bike.
