Isn't that one of those new Chumba XCL's recently relaunched in the UK. I hear they've got a 25% deal on at the moment??

Wow! - I'd love to see a VF2 in that colour. And a special deal you say?

That looks so, so, SO very similar to the Titus Motolite!

Oooo, I like that. Is that the medium? Be nice to see it built up. So currently up at £1099. Hmmmm.

It looks like the suspension would be butterly smooth, and I think some things like the inverted bottom bracket shell and linkage braces are pretty rare maybe even EXCLUSIVE to Chumba.

I bet it'd be perfect for my usual 20 mile loop full of jumps and drops.

I have always liked the Titus ML, probably nicer than my Chumba, but not by much 🙂

The rear end looks exactly the same as a 2003 Azonic Saber. Clearly up to the minute technology there. 🙄

I've got an ML, so I'm not being dismissive! Did get it primarily becuase of the bargain price they were going for last year. Geometry is pretty darn identical, too. I do note that the Chumba has the same size bearing used at all (no bushings) pivot points, and perhaps a more practical main pivot assembly - and the rocker is alloy rather than CF; no bad things maybe? Doesn't have the brace that the ML has. Certainly beats the ML's current list price ML with 25% off!

Looks like it's got a bit of the Yeti 575 about it as well, to me.

Nice looking bike.

cool, i know a few of the lads were out today in the Peak. I heard i missed a good ride.

Was it you who took a picture of the bikes? I think the lads presume they are going to be famous!
