Rocky Mountain Element C70

It is designed to bridge the gap between both. With 130mm of front travel and 120mm in the rear, it is efficient enough for cross-country climbing but stable and capable enough to handle technical singletrack and descents.

The adjustable geometry allows you to tweak the head tube angle and bottom bracket height. This lets you slacken the bike for more stability on steep, technical descents or steepen it for sharper, more responsive handling on tight, twisty trails.

Yes, the wheel system is tubeless-ready. You will just need to add sealant and valves to set them up tubeless, which is highly recommended for better traction and puncture resistance on the trail.

The bike comes fully equipped with a dropper post. It is an essential feature for this type of riding, allowing you to quickly lower your saddle for technical sections and raise it back up for efficient pedaling.

The SMOOTHWALL carbon frame is durable and lightweight, but like any carbon frame, it requires regular inspection. Keep it clean, check for any deep scratches or cracks after significant impacts, and ensure all pivot bolts remain torqued to the manufacturer's specifications.

The 12-speed drivetrain offers a wide gear range, providing a very low climbing gear that makes steep, technical ascents much more manageable. The shifting is precise and reliable, allowing you to find the right cadence quickly as terrain changes.
