Chumba SOCO SL Titanium in size 56 - In Route - SRAM RED XPLR - UDH w/sldiing dropout

Custom Spotlight: SOCO SL Titanium In Route

CHUMBA USA April 16, 2025

This SOCO SL Titanium went with a full Chris King/ENVE/SRAM component group.

Here are the highlights:

Chris King’s efficient and smooth riding ARD44 Fusion Fiber wheels
Chris King Aeroset and T47 BB
ENVE IN Route fork and cockpit
SRAM RED 1x13 XPLR UDH AXS drivetrain
Custom Anodized Blue Side Long Chumba Graphics
700x35mm tires with room for 700x40!

The ENVE In Route cockpit paired to a Chris King Aeroset headset hides all of the housing inside of the frame and fork. We only offer this option with a AXS or Di2 drivetrains to minimize how many hoses are inside. If you know your fit, this keeps things really clean and tucked away for an aero aesthetic.

This build maintained the sliding dropout, which provides limitless compatibility with drivetrains and tire sizes. We also offer a UDH specific fixed dropout for those desiring an even tidier aesthetic +$250. Version 2 with more heel clearance and reduced weight!

Custom Build Spotlight: Dia De Los Muertos SLACKR Ti

CHUMBA USA March 19, 2025

When our client, Ruben, reached out about making a SLACKR Titanium tribute bike for his late mother, Maria, with a Dia de Los Muertos theme, we knew we had an opportunity to make something special.

To do the concept justice, we knew we needed vibrant color and original artwork. Industry Nine reached out about collaborating on a mountain bike for the Philly Bike Expo to showcase their new Hydra2 Enduro Carbon wheelset and their incredible anodizing skills. Using the bike as a canvas we connected with local tattoo and pinstripe artist Xavier Robles III to bring the artwork to life

Xavier took the concept and developed a handful of amazing options for us, bringing his skills into play with curvaceous pinstripes, hand-drawn text and symbolic art. Once the design was done, Vince created a digital file for our vinyl cutter and masked it onto the bike and began anodizing.

Playing with the colors and having fun with this detailed art was an exhilarating experience, pushing the boundaries of what we have done with in-house anodizing previously. Industry Nine was kind enough to anodize a custom fade on the wheelset. Surrounding the blue Hydra2 hubs are Bronze or Gold faded spokes. We played off that and faded the bike’s graphics from vibrant blue to gold/bronze.
