Monk - RAW SMOKE / X-LONG

One of the most tried and tested Dirt Jumpers on the market today, featuring 4130 chromoly tubing, refined geometry and machined dropouts with integrated chain tensioning system. Now in its 14th year of production few DJ bikes have evolved to the level of detail as the Monk.We built the Monk because dirt jumping deserves more than a slapped-together frame. It deserves feel. It deserves precision. It deserves steel.There's a reason we chose 4130 chromoly for the Monk. This isn't your average tubing - this is the material of choice for riders who care how a bike rides, not just how light it is. Chromoly has a natural damped flex that gives the Monk a smooth, planted feel in the air and on landings, without feeling soft or vague. It takes the sting out of heavy hits, responds with confidence under load, and brings that unmistakable steel "spring" that alloy just can't match.We paired that ride feel with a geometry that's laser-focused on progression: snappy rear end, low standover, and a front end that lets you throw the bike exactly where you want it. And because chain tension should never get in the way of your next run, we added built-in chain tugs to keep everything perfectly aligned-no slipping, no guessing, no fuss. Whether you're boosting the mainline or simply lapping the local pumptrack until after dark, the Monk is built to take the hits and feel better doing it.The MonkOne of the most tried and tested Dirt Jumpers on the market today, featuring 4130 chromoly tubing, refined geometry and machined dropouts with integrated chain tensioning system. Now in its 14th year of production few DJ bikes have evolved to the level of detail as the Monk.4130Almost all Chromag frames are made from quality 4130 chromoly steel tubing. Chromoly is an abbreviation for chromium-molybdenum indicating the materials that the steel is alloyed with. The added chromium helps increase the steels hardenability and also provide some corrosion resistance. The molybdenum helps to increase the toughness of the steel. It has a high tensile strength but is also malleable which is what gives our frames their notorious ride quality and feel. Chromoly is often used when more strength is required than that of mild carbon steel. It falls under the AISI (American Iron & Steel Institute) 41XX designations which is where the "41" comes from. The "30" indicates it contains approximately 0.30% carbon by weight. Chromoly is much stronger than traditional 1020 steel and it has a higher strength to weight ratio and high tensile strength, which means we can use less material and achieve a product that can withstand the abuse that riders love to throw at it.Why we made thisWe built the Monk because dirt jumping deserves more than a slapped-together frame.
