Vassago ChupaCabra Frame - 2011 BCS
Stepping up the 29er hardtail game, Vassago levels rowdy trails with their new ultra-responsive, super-versatile, and long-legged ChupaCabra aluminum hardtail Frame. Thanks to its confidence-inspiring 100-120mm fork-compatible geometry, trail-dominating rider position, and plentiful stand-over clearance, the ChupaCabra looks to eliminate lame XC tippy-toe riding from your trail portfolio.
- SwitchPlate dropout system features two(included) options: vertical standard geared plates and horizontal single-speed. A third set, which adjust the geometry for longer travel, are available from Vassago
- Singlespeed SwtchPlate uses internal, forward facing axle tensioners for consistent chain tension
- SwitchPlate system uses no moving parts for a secure, maintenance-free, and versatile frame design
- Frame has clearance for a fat, trail-smoothing 2.55-inch rear tire
- Vassago plants a tree for every frame sold
Bottom Line:
Aggressive, like the ChupaCabra.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.
Hey tjs2484804,
Thanks for the question. For the size 18 on this frame, the weight is going to be 4.9 lbs (around 2222 grams). I hope this helps.
