Expirience with the Rocky Mountain Element Alloy 50

Rocky Mountain Element Alloy 50 Review
Ludwig Döhl
When riding it as a tours with proper trails, the Rocky Mountain Element Alloy 50 really comes into its own. The flat 65 degree head tube angle of the Rocky Mountain Trailbike oozes self-assurance, especially in challenging terrain. At the seating position, Rocky Mountain combines the best of two worlds: It´s balanced character is a good mix of sporty efficiency and a comfortable upright postiion. With the Rocky Mountain Fully, the real fun starts at the peak of the mountain. Because in the downhill, the tours with proper trails is better than the competitors in this price range. The guarantee promise of 5 years ensures trust.
