    Favorite Trail:mach chicken
    Duration Product Used:6 months
    Purchased At:Traded for it
    Strengths:welds, design, feel, angles, cockpit,rear travel, best handling bike ive ever ridden, rear swing arm, super stiff frame, rear shock DHX5.0, floating brake arm = no brake jack, you can point this frame down anything, its sticks to the ground, jumps well and corners well
    Weaknesses:nothing the frame its so well thought out, maybe tuff to get at the rear linkage but thats not a biggie, rare bb size
    Similar Products Used:ive owned alot of dh/freeride bikes intense m1 03, Giant atx team dh 00, orange 222 03 and patriot, turner rail and dhr02
    Bike Setup:fox 40 rc2 single tracks on hadleys dhx 5.0 magura louise fr brakes raceface north shore cranks chromag stem and bars
    Bottom Line:I built up my dream bike in 03/04 my intense m1 with all the best parts i could get my hands on and I passed up on the chumba. After a season and a bit on the intense m1 i toyed with some freeride frames and then had a chance to pick up a chumba f4 in a trade that was hardly used. I have to say this is my dream bike now, Ive never ridden a better dh bike there is nothing this bike doesn't do well. I was told this bike wouldn't be any good on the North shore and north shore type trails. let me tell you they where wrong, the bike just rips on that stuff and handles well at slow speeds floats over all that rooty and real rough stuff holds a line like no other and has gotten me outta so much shyt and close calls.

    If you like to fly down the mtn grab some air or keep it on the ground, snap outta corners and point it down the rough stuff this is the bike for you. look around and see if you can pick one up.
