Rootdown 2019
We updated the Rootdown frame with a combination of longer top tube, shorter chain stay, slacker head angle, steeper seat tube and lower BB. For us it was a significant progression of all mountain hardtail. The new 2019 version continues that legacy further with the additional clearance needed for 27.5 Plus tire compatibility.
Built with our custom-drawn tubes and featuring a 12 X 148 Boost rear end and stealth post routing, this is the evolution of Chromag frame design in 29er form compatible to 27.5+. An agile ascender and a dominant descender that is ready for anything.
This bike has either been superseded by a new model, or retired from the fleet.
But fear not! We carry a wide variety of spares, and promise to provide support for your trusty steed for a long while yet.
a well oiled machine
If you happen to be the proud owner of a Rootdown 2019, now might be a good time to remove your seatpost and re-grease it.
If they are left too long, galvanic corrosion can occur between the steel of the frame, and aluminium of the seatpost making it very difficult to remove.
Spare parts
We keep a wide variety of spare parts in stock for years after a frame is deprecated.
