Build Kit Geometry Specifications
The Lowdown takes everything Chromag learned developing their full suspension line, and directs it into a long travel bruiser. With a penchant for 4130 steel, 29" wheels, slack head tube angles (63.5°), and steeper seat tube angles (79°), the Lowdown is paired with 170mm travel up front and 158mm out back.
Chromag is still drawing strongly on their hardtail roots and design philosophy, but removed one more constraint.

What's not to like about a hard charging long travel steel bike? Cam, our fearless leader, has spoken highly of the Lowdown, "They made the bike I always wanted. Supportive yet plush. Super stable and with the multiple size options, fits beautifully. I instantly felt at home. Love it, love it, love it." The Lowdown is everything you need and nothing you don't. The build just makes sense. With some highlights being the Code RSC's providing great stopping power, Zeb Ultimate for a buttery smooth descent, and double down tires to keep you running with minimal flats, the Lowdown is stocked. Yes it may end up being 38 pounds with pedals, thick casing tires, inserts, and geared up with tools, but we don't think it matters.
