The Element has been designed specifically as a sweet spot between light cross-country climbing capabilities and technical precision - the best of both worlds and more. Climbing efficiency of roadie class guarantees the oh so sweet feeling of dropping someone. Additional stability on fast descents and a pseudo-aggressive seat tube angle provide a surprising level of confidence on tight single tracks and hairy descents. Light. Stiff. Fast. Smooth. Precise. You are now always in your element.
