Geometry & Size Recommendations

Designed for confidence and comfort, the Chabo offers modern geometry tailored for both technical trail riding and bikepacking.

Why Steel?

Crafted from Reynolds 853 steel, the Chabo frame delivers unmatched strength, fatigue resistance, and a responsive ride feel. The heat-treated steel allows for thinner tubing while retaining toughness, making it perfect for the demands of long-distance rides and rugged trails. Plus, 100% recycled steel aligns with our sustainability commitment.

Technology

• The Progressive Flex Pivot Suspension on the Chabo is designed to deliver smooth, responsive performance. With a 16% progression from SAG onwards, this system perfectly balances comfort and control, adapting to challenging terrains. It offers 120mm rear travel with a 190 x 45mm shock, or, for a more cross-country-oriented setup, 108mm rear travel with a 190 x 40mm shock. This versatility allows riders to choose the setup that best suits their adventure style.

• Internal/External Cable Routing: The Chabo offers flexibility with both sleek internal routing for a clean look and traditional external routing for easier maintenance. Both options are included in the box, so you can decide which setup works best for you without needing to choose upfront.

• Screwed T47 Bottom Bracket: Ensures strength and long-term durability with easy maintenance options

• Inside-Out Coating: The Chabo’s frame is treated with a durable KTL coating, which fully coats the frame inside and out, using the same high standards as in the automotive industry. This protective layer is finished with a beautiful Cerakote coating, celebrated for its resilience and sleek appearance. You can choose from four stylish Cerakote colors, and for those wanting something unique, a custom paint job is always an option. This dual-layer coating ensures the Chabo stands out in both durability and style.
• CUSTOM COLOR ALWAYS POSSIBLE
