We’ve always been impressed with Chumba Racing’s bikes, but they’ve not been available to buy in the UK for a while. That is all set to change though, as Progressive Bikes announce they’ve become the official UK distributor.

The return of Chumba to the UK will bring Chumba classics like the XCL, EVO and F5 back to the UK trails. Their latest offering, the VF2, is Chumba’s lightweight all-day trail bike, with 5” of travel via a horst link carbon rear swing arm and custom made hydroformed top tube and flared downtube. 29er fans are also catered for with the HX2, a 29er hardtail frame plus the HX1, an all-mountain bike. Both come with eccentric bottom brackets.

The first demo bikes are already in the UK and to mark the return Progressive Bikes are offering a limited number of XCL’s, VF2’s and the F5 at a special introductory price, saving up to 20%.

You’ll be able to spot Chumba Racing in action at the UCI DH World Cup series, with US riders riders Duncan Riffle and Brad Benedict of team GiantNerd/Duncan Riffle Racing (DRR) piloting the Chumba F5.
