Expirience with the Rocky Mountain Element C70 Shimano

Ludwig Döhl Fun is the name of the game when you ride the Trailbike von Rocky Mountain tours with proper trails. No matter how rowdy the ride gets: when shredding the Element C70, the 65 degree head tube angle and the long wheelbase ensure a pretty chilled handling. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the Rocky Mountain Element C70. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. One thing shouldn't be underestimated: In the uphill, the Rocky Mountain Fully with its overall sporty orientation makes it really hard for tours with proper trails competitors to catch up. The guarantee promise of 5 years ensures trust.
