So as some of you may know I am getting a Specialized Demo 8. But the desire for more than one big bike is hard to resist.. So I thought I'd consider another Chumba in the future. Not too soon- but it will be in the back of my mind.
![]() As far as I understand this will be the new Chumba F5.. although a great color I am not too fond of the black outlining around the Chumba on the downtube. Also it seems to come in a build kit now. ![]() This is all I know so far, but from the looks of it- this bike may end up in my room sooner than I think. ![]() ![]() ![]() The specs: Wheels:Azonic Outlaw -135mm 26" w/s blk Tire: Maxxis Highroller - DH 26 x 2.5" Brakes: Avid 08 Code 203 Fr disc brake Disc Brake: Avid 08 Code 203 R disc brake Handlebars: Truvativ Handlebar Saddle:CHUMBA Cassette: SRAM PG-970 cassette 11-34 Derailleur, Rear: Sram X9 medium cage Chain Guide: MRP G2 Chain Guide Seat Collar: CHUMBA Crankset: Truvativ Holzfeller DH 170 38t Bottom Bracket: Truvativ Howitzer Team BB 83-56 Tube: Maxxis Downhill Tube, 26" x 2.5 Shock: Fox DHX 5.0 9.5, 3.0, 300lb Headset: Chris King - Pewter 1 1/8 Fork: Fox 08 40 RC2 Chain: Shimano CN7701 XTR 9-spd Chain Stem: Thomson EliteX4 0x50x31.8 slv Grips: CHUMBA Shifters: Sram X9 Trig. Shifter 9-spd rr Replacable der. hanger ISCG mounts made in house via CNC Geometry is still the same as last years I believe. My biggest question is- Does it come in black? ![]() Price is still being determined.

haha yeah..
I was considering this bike before the Demo 8 but price was what ultimately helped me decide on the Demo. But you can bet I'll be getting The F5 anyways! maybe try to put a motor on it. ![]()

who said need? I meant I want more than 1 big bike. haha might even have 3. A single speed and DJ/4X will be ahead of the second DH bike though so all is well planned

I'd second the desire for a 4x bike but besides Fontucky I don't think there are many other courses and most of the bikes are WAAAYYY beyond my skill level. It would be fun though.

What's your reasoning for that? As far as I know, Ted has been running King headsets on all of his DH bikes for over ten years. It's actually 145mm, but 10mm is taken up by the floater. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Do you know something no one else does? Please share! I suspect that the photos of the green F5 don't do the color justice. That must look sweet out in the sun. |
