A lightweight understated classic urban bike packed full of features, the Element is fully equipped to take on the Urban jungle with flat mount hydraulic disc bakes and a 3x9 Shimano drive train to help you get over any terrain and a light weight 6061 heat treated aluminium frame which is finished with a aluminium fibre fork all makes the Element the ideal Urban bike for the modern individual. Equipped for every eventuality, the Ridgeback Element EQ comes with all the accessories a modern, premium utility bike needs. Perfect for the city, the lightweight aluminium frame and fork give a responsive ride with a riser bar providing a more upright position for predictable handling. Optimised for cycling in all conditions, the Element is provided with everything you need to make riding for transport comfortable and easy. Mudguards keep road spray at bay in wet conditions, a chain guard keeps oil away from trousers and hub dynamo lights shine the way at night. A rear rack is perfect for hosting pannier bags, negating the need for a rucksack and a kickstand means you won't be searching for somewhere to lean the bike. Smooth and reliable Shimano drivetrain provides 16 gears, a perfect combination for everything you're likely to encounter in an urban environment. Wide tyres provide additional comfort over rough surfaces and hydraulic disc brakes are powerful in all conditions.
