The Chromag Lowdown takes everything Chromag learned developing their full suspension line, and directs it into a long travel bruiser. It still has a penchant for 4130 steel, 29" wheels, slack head tube angles (63.5°) and steeper seat tube angles (79°), but it pairs all of that with 170mm up front and 158mm out back.
The way we see it, Chromag is still drawing strongly on their hardtail roots and design philosophy, but just removed one more constraint.
The Chromag Lowdown is engineered to dominate steep lines, massive gaps, and aggressive berms with fearless control. This trail bike devours rough terrain and big drops, built for all-day pedal missions that demand both endurance and power. Drawing from advanced full suspension expertise, it delivers long-travel capability that turns every ride into a bold adventure.
The Chromag Lowdown blends a rugged 4130 chromoly steel frame with lightweight 6066 aluminum chainstays and seatstays, striking the perfect balance between compliance and stiffness. Its aluminum rocker adds strength without extra weight, delivering a trail bike that’s both tough and agile. This daring mix of materials ensures the Lowdown handles aggressive terrain with precision and resilience.
