    Summary

    Expirience with the Rocky Mountain Element Carbon 90

    Rocky Mountain Element Carbon 90 Review When using the bike for tours with proper trails, the Element Carbon 90 with its 130 mm on the fork is totally spot on. With lean 11,2 kg, the Rocky Mountain Element Carbon 90 is among the lightest bikes in this category. The combination of a 65 degree head tube angle and a long wheelbase calms down the handling of the Element Carbon 90, even if you ride fast. The seating position of the on moderate to demanding trails moves in a moderate range between sporty and comfortable. The strongest case for this bike is however: The coherent geometry and grippy tires ensure full send mode on the trail. Rocky Mountain gives 5 years warranty on the bike.
