Element FRC 52 GFNY Edition: ChooseMyBicycle Expert Review

The Element FRC’s frame has been made using Aluminium Alloy, which is perfect to achieve an excellent aero-to-comfort ratio. The design of the tube ensures supreme performance on all kinds of terrain – tested on cobblestones, rough urban roads and smooth city roads. The performance across all terrains was impeccable. This welding technology used on the frame of this Bicycle adds to its light weight.

This Bicycle comes equipped with a flat fork. The fork absorbs shock felt from riding on cobblestones, and/or bumpy, rough terrain efficiently.

The Element FRC 52 GFNY is a well-designed Bicycle. The smooth welding on the frame joints adds to the overall aesthetics of this Bicycle. The bicycle we test rode came in a matte Black primary colour with Grey and Green as the secondary colours. The branding on the frame of this Bicycle is significant while not being overpowering. The thin tubes amade the Bicycle look sleek and lightweight.

Ignite is predominantly seen on all ancillary components on this Element Bicycle like the handlebar, saddle and rims.

The 18-Speed shifting is controlled by Ingnite single lever Paddle Shifters which require minimal effort to shift.

The Element FRC comes equipped with stock Mechanical disc brakes. When tested, both interval and abrupt braking was powerful while remaining stable and in control. The braking was as effective on both dry and wet terrain during the test ride.

This Bicycle comes equipped with a stock Alloy handlebar. The compact shape of the handlebar enables the rider to place their hands on the drop bar without being in an overly aggressive, strained riding position.
