Monk

Every bike should be built with care and detail. Your DJ bike is no exception. We made the Monk to create a dirt jumper that doesn't compromise!

One of the most tried and tested Dirt Jumpers on the market today, featuring 4130 chromoly tubing, refined geometry and machined dropouts with integrated chain tensioning system. Now in its 14th year of production few DJ bikes have evolved to the level of detail as the Monk.

• 4130 chromoly construction
• CNC machined stainless steel dropouts with integrated chain tensioning
• Evolved geometry for stable, responsive performance

Materials

Almost all Chromag frames are made from quality 4130 chromoly steel tubing. Chromoly is an abbreviation for chromium-molybdenum indicating the materials that the steel is alloyed with.

The added chromium helps increase the steels hardenability and also provide some corrosion resistance.
The molybdenum helps to increase the toughness of the steel.

It has a high tensile strength but is also malleable which is what gives our frames their notorious ride quality and feel. Chromoly is often used when more strength is required than that of mild carbon steel.

It falls under the AISI (American Iron & Steel Institute) 41XX designations which is where the “41” comes from. The “30” indicates it contains approximately 0.30% carbon by weight.

Chromoly is much stronger than traditional 1020 steel and it has a higher strength to weight ratio and high tensile strength, which means we can use less material and achieve a product that can withstand the abuse that riders love to throw at it.
