Take a deep dive into the details on the Yaupon ATB with Vince’s interview over at BikeGearDataBase. This was a fun opportunity to really nerd out on some of our design ideas and what the Yaupon is all about. Let us know what you think! We also shot a full gallery of photos on an amazing Yaupon Titanium build, enjoy!
Excerpt : “On the edge of ATB is a type of bike that we have jokingly started referring to as “grountain”. Grountain is definitely not our term but we think it effectively describes a more serious version of an ATB for endurance racing and deep backcountry single-tracking. Growntain is ATB on steroids.
The Yaupon fromChumba epitomizes this space. With its “adaptable” geometry the Yaupon can be set up as anything for anything—drop or flat bar, grinding gravel or flying down mountains, fully bagged or not. You decide. We absolutely love these unclassifiable bikes that are made to carry anything and go anywhere. We spoke with Vince Colvin the Director of Operations and Product Design at Chumba about the Yaupon and this specific titanium build that has us drooling all over our keyboard.”
