Year after year Chase continues to refine their top of the range race bike and this year is no exception! For 2024 the Chase Element is fitted from the factory with Ikon carbon forks and matching coloured decals. This upgrade from the previous years is both a performance enhancement, and an aesthetic enhancement with the Ikon fork seen on the front of the bikes raced by Chase Pro riders Izaac Kennedy and Joris Daudet.
As for previous years there's also a choice of two colours with a cool as a winter's midnight black and grey colourway, and a more look-at-me red wine and sand combo. Based on the previous year's models, the quality of finish will be top shelf and we expect these to sell through quickly, especially this much sort after Expert sized Element. It's spec'd with the correct wheel/tyre combos for this size bike and one check of the specs and you will realise that this is actually a Expert XL frame. With a 20 inch top tube, just make sure your rider is ready for a frame this long.
There is a myriad of tech that comes with these frames that you can read in more detail below, but for starters the Element frames feature Hydroformed 7005-T6 Alloy, Aero system shaped tubing, making for a lightweight, yet strong frame.
The Chase Element is set up with a hydraulic disc brake, providing superior feel and power, while the drivetrain has lightweight LSP cranks driving the Sun Envy/Chase rear wheel.
The package is tied together with a culture of winning with the frame's geometry designed with input from Chase's Pro riders Connor Fields and Joris Daudet. Together these two world class riders have nailed the Elements design and maximised performance.
