Chumba XCL:

The XCL – one of CHUMBA’s most popular bikes – is the true workhorse of the family. The XCL is internationally acclaimed as one of the most versatile, durable, and refined trail bikes by well-known magazines such as Mountain Bike Action and Velo Vert.

Over ten years in development and raced and tested by world champions, the XCL offers a buttery smooth suspension and is built to take a beating. The XCL makes use of sophisticated technological features that are exclusive to CHUMBA – such as braces in our linkage pieces and inverted bottom bracket shells. These features combined with CHUMBA’s racing heritage produces a bike that offers unparalleled stiffness, tracking, and handling.

So if you need a bike to take on your 20 mile epic rides into the woods while throwing in some drops and jumps – the XCL is a perfect choice.
