Element C70 XT Di2 Mountain Bike

Rocky Mountain built the redesigned Element Carbon 70 around a rear triangle that no longer pivots. Smoothlink SL's flexstay layout removes the previous generation's rear pivot hardware entirely, dropping 350 grams from the frame and adding stiffness where a pivot used to introduce flex. Less hardware in the rear triangle also cuts down on bearings to service over the bike's life.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I expected the race-tuned geometry and short travel to fold on anything rougher than hardpack, and instead the rear end stays composed through chunder that usually humbles a bike this short on travel. Shimano's XT Di2 Wireless holds that same composure under load, shifting precisely mid-stroke instead of hunting for a gear when the terrain turns technical."

Heads up! We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning, and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearhead® Experts are always here to help.
