First Ride Impressions on the ALL NEW '22 Rocky Mountain Element

This is an unusually long video for MTB yumyum viewers.... if you ride the trainer, enjoy!! This was my first ride on the NEW Rocky Mountain Element back in November of 2021. I was worried I wouldn't have time to review this bike last fall do to snowy weather so I filmed the entire first ride.... This is the first video of this kind. It's sort of long.... hope you enjoy it!! Follow on Strava:   / strava   Follow on Instagram:   / mtb_yumyum   Custom Carbon "YUMYUM" wheels by Salt Cycles: 801-943-8502 Call and order yours today!
