So, whether you are looking for a fast race-level full suspension or a nice and light all day riding bike the Element 70 MLS is ready when you are.

Rocky Mtn Impression; When we first launched Element in 1996, we couldn’t have predicted that it would go on to become one of the most enduring suspension platforms in mountain bike history.

Rocky Mtn Slayer 50 Medium Grey $2762.99 Complete Bike

MSRP: $3399.99 now $2762.99 Complete Bike

GBS Impression; The Slayer is a bike that compels you to push your limits.  With 6.5 inches of travel, the Slayer can handle your favorite technical trails as well as lift runs and downhill shuttle runs. The weight of this bike really seems to sit very low and centered on the bike, making the front end easy to pick up gives the bike a very stable feeling at high speeds. Rocky Mtn has been at the forefront of downhill and all-mountain bikes since their beginning, and has always supported some of the most talented rides. Riding a bike like the Slayer, you can see why.  The first time I hit a jump on this bike, I knew it had some major potential. If you want a bike to really handle nasty terrain, but still has a pedal friendly side to it, a Slayer should be a major contender.

Rocky Mtn Impression; The Holy Grail of mountain bikes might just be a 165mm travel trail destroyer that climbs like a cross country bike. If it is, then look no further than Slayer. Never has a bike with this much travel pedaled so well and never has such an efficient climbing bike descended so well. With Rocky Mountain pioneered StraightUp™ geometry featuring its 75 degree seat angle, the rider is always in the perfect pedaling position for maximum power on the climbs. With its 66.5 degree head tube angle and bottomless SmoothLink™ Suspension, nothing gets in Slayer’s way when things get gnarly.

Elsworth Evolution Medium Blue $2100.99 Frame Only

MSRP: $2394.99 now $2100.99 Frame Only

GBS Impression; Elsworth bikes have always had a very comfortable feel,  and prove themselves to be excellent bikes for seated climbing. The Evolution brings these things together in a 29er package. If your looking for a great all day rider that won’t leave you aching the next day this is a great choice.

Elsworth Impression; All new for 2011, the ICT bred Evolution 29er boasts 120mm of fully active travel.  From obliterating the local XC loops to tackling the all day epics, this bike does it all.  Combine the Evolution sst.2 120 frame with a set of fast rolling 29″ wheels and you have a machine that can take you further than you ever thought possible.  Go ahead and get lost on the new Evolution sst.2 120, the legendary Ellsworth quality and performance will get you home.

Internationally patented and quantifiably the most energy-efficient suspension design in the World, ICT tuned four-bar linkage design provides a true zero-energy loss to suspension function. By aligning the instant center on the chain torque line and continually tracking the chain torque throughout the range of travel, ICT is accomplished without the need of a lockout. This keeps the suspension fully active and always on, resulting in increased traction and control, and reduced rider fatigue. ICT suspension is internationally acclaimed and continues to set the bench mark for suspension performance.
