We made the Lowdown to handle the rooty, rocky terrain that we know in B.C., the PNW and beyond! Its built for the rough stuff!
The Lowdown is ready to shred steep lines and gaps, smash berms, or head out on long distance missions. Its a trail bike that eats up chunder and drops while being ready for all day pedal adventures. It takes everything we learned developing our full suspension line and directs it into a long travel bruiser!
Materials
As you might expect from any Chromag, The Lowdown relies firmly on a 4130 chromoly steel foundation. We believe that the ride characteristics and aesthetics for which our hardtails are known, absolutely translates to a full suspension platform.
However, a dual suspension rig provides different challenges, which is why we opted for 6066 aluminum chainstays and seatstays. Primarily for weight saving and stiffness, but the chainstay also houses bearings which is more difficult to do in steel. Using a mix of aluminum and steel helps strike the right balance of compliance and rigidity.
The rocker is made from forged aluminum due to its strength/weight ratio and ability to be machined more easily than steel.
