Chromag surprises with their full suspension lineup, including the Lowdown, a bike built for serious terrain and hard riding. With a steel front triangle and aluminum rear, the Lowdown features 158mm of rear wheel travel and a 170mm fork. Its geometry is progressive yet sensible, with extreme reach numbers.
