With all the full squish bikes these days on the trail it’s awesome to see people rocking hardtails still. The Samurai is Chromag’s longest running and most evolved frameset. It has had several changes including updated geometry, new features, and compatibilities.

Made in Canada by fabricator, Mike Truelove, the Samurai is a 27.5 wheel, all mountain hardtail. The newest version features longer front end geometry with relaxed headtube and steepened seattube. Oriented to longer travel forks, the Samurai positioning is readjusted for the best balance of direction control and stability. It also includes boost rear wheel spacing, tapered headtube and stealth seattube routing. A new machined yoke pared with the boost layout means that we can increase tire clearance significantly. For those interested in dabbling in the future option of 26+, there is clearance to explore that route.
