New Frames with Custom-tuned Coil Shocks

We are accepting orders for a limited number of ELKA-equipped frames for models VF2 & EVO G2.  The ELKA shocks provide unsurpassed small and large bump absorption qualities, while also providing requisite pedaling efficiency and minimizing pedaling bob.  Allow 2-3 weeks for ordering time as each shock is made to order.

Please e-mail info@chumbabikes.com for more information.

EVO G2 Fabrication Video

Phone-shot video of EVO G2 linkage fabrication today in Orange County, California.  The quality isn't the best.  We shaved some material to give the frames shipping out this week better clearance for shock bottom out and cable routing.

Partnership & Collaboration with G-Bike of Spain

We are pleased to announce a partnership to co-develop and co-produce 100 units of a Special Edition Gavarres Bike CHUMBA EVO G2 frame.  Gavarres Bikes is one of Spain's premier distribution and mountain biking racing organizations, participating in various enduro and downhill races locally and nationally.  Gavarres Bikes personally tests, uses, and races all products developed and sold.

Some of the planned revisions include shaving off weight off of the frame.  We have done this by reducing the weight of the linkages over 30 percent through improved FEA analysis and testing that allowed us to redesign some of the linkage pieces while still retaining the strength and rigidity that you've come to expect from CHUMBA.



As our production line continues, we will provide you with updates and information on geometry updates, graphics, and other improvements that will put this frame as the undisputed top of its class.
