sometime Posted April 19, 2012 Share I have one. Great bike with great components - rear shock is average but not nearly as bad as everyone might want you to believe. If you didn't know there was some negativity from a few people about it, I would challenge 80% of riders to notice the difference between the DT Swiss shock and say a Fox RP2. Put on a tubeless kit, some Racing Ralph tyres and you have a very competitive bike at a great price. Once you have some money saved I would upgrade the wheelset but the rest is fine as is.

lock Posted April 19, 2012 Share Been drooling over the element for a while now! Where do you boys get the frames? Will it take a 100mm reba? Think it's spec'ed for 120? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covie Posted April 19, 2012 Share Been drooling over the element for a while now! Where do you boys get the frames? Will it take a 100mm reba? Think it's spec'ed for 120? Have to buy a complete bike to get a frame, though if you speak to the distrobuters and your willing to wait for a strip down to come in they will put your name on a list, Its desinged for 100mm but the 950 comes with the revelation u turn that can turn it into a 120mm AM beast for the really rough stuff.

Wasn't too sure of the standard saddle - replaced it with a Gobi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
