Rocky Mountain Element SE Frame 2009: Superb frame with a mixture of Alu and carbon (seat stays).

3D LINKThe idea behind the 3DLink suspension technology is simple: triangles.

Triangles have the best strength to weight ratio of any geometric shape.

The 3DLink suspension system is a triangular geometry ideally suited for aggressive cross-country racing.

Since the 3DLink design does not rely on the shock as a structural member of the frame, it is incredibly stiff laterally, creating a bike that tracks straight, loses nothing to flex, and is as efficient as a hardtail on singletrack.

The 3DLink rear suspension design, coupled with a custom-valved Fox shock results in a fully active suspension system, and an optimal XC suspension rate which directs all of the rider's energy into the drivetrain for unparalleled power transfer and acceleration.

Optimized pedaling efficiency and no suspension "bob result in more power and traction to the rear wheel.
