Rocky Mountain ELEMENT C50 Bike 2026In Your Element. On Every Ride. If you want a bike that's quick on the climbs but still capable of fun on rowdier descents, a short-travel trail bike hits the sweet spot. The Element C50 pairs a carbon frame and 120mm of rear travel with a 130mm fork on 29" wheels. In the slackest setting, a 65-degree head angle keeps the front end steady when the trail tips down. A 76. 5-degree seat angle keeps you in a strong pedaling position on long climbs. Short 436mm chainstays keep the bike lively and easy to pop off roots and ledges. The four-position flip chip lets you steepen things up for tighter, twistier trails. There's room for tires up to 29x2. 6, plus dual bottle mounts for long days out. The frame also carries a 5-year warranty that transfers to a second owner. Up front, a Rock Shox Pike Select with the Charger RC damper keeps the fork composed in rough terrain. Out back, a Deluxe Select+ shock gets a tune matched to each frame size. SRAM Eagle 90 Transmission shifting runs across a 10-52T cassette, so there's a low gear for the steepest climbs. SRAM Motive Bronze 4-piston brakes give you strong, steady stopping on the way down. WTB rims on a DT Swiss 370 rear hub wear fast-rolling Maxxis Rekon tires, and both are ready to run tubeless. A Tranz X dropper with size-specific travel gets the saddle out of your way on descents. It's an efficient trail bike that still has the travel and geometry to have fun when things get technical.
