Chromag Darco Ti

Drawing on nearly two decades of frame-building know-how, Chromag’s first full-suspension bike—the Darco Ti—stays true to the brand’s steel-hardtail heritage. It rolls on 29-inch wheels with a 160 mm fork and a burly 120mm rear end: the “hardtailer’s full-sus.” Slack up front (64° head angle) and steep out back (78° seat angle) with a roomy cockpit (490 mm reach, M/L), it’s tuned for Sea-to-Sky climbs and rowdy descents alike.

The Chromag Darco Ti offers the unmatched advantages of titanium, delivering exceptional weight savings, a smooth ride feel, and a distinctive silky finish. Designed for riders who value performance and craftsmanship, this titanium bike frame combines durability with refined aesthetics, making every ride both efficient and enjoyable. Experience the unique blend of strength and elegance that only titanium can provide.

A piggyback shock handles the big hits Chromag riders are used to sending on hardtails, keeping composure when the trail turns hectic.

The bike carries special meaning: named “Darco” in honor of Chromag mechanic and friend D’Arcy “The Dark One” Burke, who passed away in 2020, it’s a heartfelt tribute wrapped in steel and speed.
