Chumba F5 Downhill Race Bike

Darren had the good fortune to upgrade from his Mountain Cycle Shockwave to the new Chumba F5. I have to admit this is one sick looking bike… The white really pops out at you and gives the bike a machine like quality that you don’t normally see out on the trail.


















This was also the bike of choice for the new Chumba/Bike Bling Race Team. Everyone who threw their leg over one during this weekend’s session finished their runs with a huge smiles on their faces.

The geometry was one of the first things the riders commented on. Unlike the bikes the guys are currently riding they felt right at home on the F5 on their first run! Everyone said the bike was super stiff laterally. The bike went where you pointed it, without missing a beat. The guys were wanting to get theirs ASAP!

We are stoked to be working so closely with Chumba. We’re offering their full line-up for 2009 including three new designs the HX1, HX2 and the insanely fast and smooth VF2. Click here for more details.
