Old Vs. New | Have MTBs Changed For The Better? 18 Years Of Evolution
It doesn’t take a second glance to see how different modern mountain bikes are from the bikes of yesteryear.
But just how much difference does that make?
We lined up two bikes; the same model from the same brand, but two decades apart, to find out.
We pitched the latest Rocky Mountain Element against its near 20-years older grandparent, our presenter Tom’s dad’s 2005 Element 70.
Prepare for a tech deep dive, some timed runs and Tom screaming and holding on for dear life.
Would you ride a bike from 20 years ago? Be sure to let us know what you think in the comments.
