EVO G2 Cable Routing: Innovative Design

Dear Friends & Customers,

There has been some confusion about cable routing on the EVO G2.  The EVO G2 uses cable routing that routes down the downtube, and below the bottom bracket.  We've not had one complaint from anyone who has routed their cables in this manner about the imaginary fear of having rocks bash the cables.

Just in case you were wondering, there are a ton of bike companies that route the cables in the exact, if not very similar method that we use for the EVO G2.  One of them is Specialized, who recently had the cables in full display on the cover of a recent Mountain Bike Action.  Similarly, Yeti also routes their cables along the bottom of the BB.

We particularly liked this method of cable routing because it hides the cables on about 95 percent of the front triangle, and tucks them away very neat.  For people who are not used to this style of routing, we would recommend for them to give it a shot!

EVO G2: Proven Performance. Dakota Dulmage in OC.

Customer Satisfaction with ELKA Tune!

Here is a photo of my build. Thanks for your help with the Elka shock. I wanted to wait until I rode it a few times to contact u so that I could tell u what I think. Well, it is sick! I love the bike, the frame is super stiff and precise. The Elka is fantastic - keeping the rear wheel locked on the ground. The performance is so much better than my old bike. During last nights ride I was on my friends tail like never before - they noticed too! It was all due to the excellent geometry and performance of the Chumba. I'm convinced, my next bike will bee a Chumba - ill start saving for the Evo G2!


Thanks again!

P.S. Jim, your bike looks awesome!

Awesome Climbing Ability of EVO G2!

Watch the FCC suspension in action.  The frame minimizes pedal bob, transferring all pedaling input into forward motion.  This allows this all-mountain frame to climb like a light XC racer.  Watch as this rider shows what this frame can do.

CHUMBA-ElKA Custom-valved Chassis Service Available

Dear CHUMBA Friends and Riders:

As many of you know, we have formed a partnership with ELKA suspension to custom-valve all available CHUMBA suspension frames to reach the pinnacle of performance with respect to your bicycle.  We have analyzed all of our frames with ELKA, to attain the perfect combination of compression and rebound depending on your weight, riding style, and frame you choose.

The proper amount of compression and rebound designed around your linkage is vital in suspension performance.  The EVO G2 uses a patent pending system, that alters the frame's suspension feel when using either a coil shock or an air shock.  Other frames don't make this differentiation.  The ELKA then further fine tunes this linkage and shock combo to give you unsurpassed performance climbing, descending, and handling all technical terrain.  In short, the performance is taken to new levels not offered by other manufacturers.

Here is what a rider who recently participated in this service had to say, "I am able to climb further up the same technical slopes than on my Ellsworth Moment or Ibis Mojo.  Does it mean that it is better?  I would think so.  Compared to the dw-link, the EVO G2 is definitely more plush, and the ELKA definitely helps...the rear end doesn't flex like the Ibis Mojo..."  

Attached, you will find a sample report that is made available at the time of shipping your frame. Sample PDF Report for Custom-valved Rear Suspension
