Element is a popular Taiwanese brand which has now forayed into the Indian market. The development and testing protocol followed by this brand guarantees that Element Bicycles can translate the need of the riders into the highest-quality products with the best value. We got the opportunity to test rid the Element Spy 2.0 Back to Work Edition and here is what we thought.
Weight: 15.2kgs
Usage: Trail/Fitness/Commute
The Element Spy 2.0 Back to Work Edition is an all-rounder Hardtail MTB best suited for commuting on rough roads and for weekend flat to moderate trail rides.
The Element Spy 2.0 is built on a full Alloy frame. This frame geometry is inspired to make this Bicycle comfortable for commuting and this MTB’s slanting top tube with taller build gives a relaxed riding posture. The thin seat and chain stays are strong enough to withstand the vibrations from the surface and thus making the ride more comfortable.
As a hardtail MTB, this one comes with a stock front suspension fork with a working travel of 80-90mm and a suspension lock-out which helps make the ride faster on flatter roads.
Strong Alloy frame with a high ground clearance
This Element Spy 2.0 which we test rode came in a full Black colour frame with subtle and minimal Grey and Yellow graphics and text. The matte finish paint job was of the highest quality and the colour coded rims and saddle made the Bicycle aesthetic in appearance.
The Element Spy 2.0 comes in only 1 colour variant; Black with Grey and Yellow graphics
The Element Spy 2.0 comes with a Shimano Tourney 3-Speed at the front and 8-Speed at the rear as derailleurs. Even though Tourney is an entry-level gearing component the shifting was smooth and we did not feel any lag. The 24-Speed gear combination was sufficient for riding on roads, rough trails and gradual climbs.
Shimano’s 24-speed Tourney derailleurs provided smooth gear shifts
Braking on the Element Spy 2.0 is taken care of by Logan Hydraulic Disc brakes at the front and rear. These brakes felt balanced and powerful, especially when you are riding in wet weather and need reliable braking performance or when stopping during rough urban road commuting or fast paced trail rides.
The Alloy mid-raise handlebar was wide enough for a comfortable riding posture as well as offers optimum control for sharp turns on trails.
The Logan Hydraulic Disc brakes were balanced and powerful to use in both wet and dry conditions
The Deli 27.5” x 2.25” MTB tires on the Spy 2.0 are heavily treaded and are supported by Double Walled Alloy rims. The treads on these tires are massive for 27.5” standards, making it generate a lot of traction even on wet roads and trails.
The stock foam Saddle from Element was ergonomic in design with the perfect width to keep the sit bones in place.
The Stock 27.5” MTB tires with bulky and uniform treading ensures safe rides on wet surfaces
This MTB with its smooth front suspension fork and powerful Logan Hydraulic Disc brakes make for a perfect Bicycle to commute on harsh city, rural roads and to start your trail riding experience. The slanting top tube and wide saddle makes this Hardtail MTB comfortable to ride on both roads and trails. Priced at Rs.27,990(as on 7th February 2023) the Element Spy 2.0 is an ideal choice for your first MTB.
