We expect the 2023 Chase Element Expert bikes will likely sell as fast as this model from the past couple of years with this range from Chase having established itself as incredible value for the racer looking to step up from an entry level bike and onto a race machine capable of winning at state and national level racing.. Out of the box, the Element Expert sports components that includes gear like race proven Answer carbon fibre Dagger forks, along with a hydraulic disc brake system. It's the first step in the Element range, a perfect race rig for riders coming up through the ranks from something like a junior bike and is not quite ready to take the plunge to a full custom, ground up build. Not that the Chase Element will leave the rider wanting for anything with the part's list continues with legit brands like Elevn, Insight and Tioga used for key components on this super quick complete race bike.
With design cues from the top end alloy Chase RSP frame series, the Element's geometry has input from Olympic champion Connor Fields, and 4X USABMX title winner Joris Daudet. The Expert runs a wheelset that mimics how we would build a custom Expert (or Expert XL) with a 20x1-3/8th wheel and tyre combo, rather than the more commonly found 20x1.5 set up found in competitor's bikes at this level. It's this type of specifications that places the Chase Expert above the other bikes in this size bracket.
Even with a little customisation to dial this bike in for the rider, this bike won't lose out to racers on bikes costing two or three times as much as the value for money Chase. You won't be disappointed when you roll down the hill the first time with a massive smile on your face!
