Chromag HiFi (2011) Stem
The Good

The hifi is super stiff, extremely durable,and looks super nice, while maintaining a fairly light weight!

The Bad

A bit expensive.

Overall Review
Very nice stem! The quality and attention to detail is very obvious even at first glance. Very clean and sleek looking stem, the design is amazing! The hifi also performs great. I use the 50mm model for dirt jumping with 750mm bars and it has no flex. Big hardware and built very strong so it stands up to all sorts of abuse! Some say its heavy, but for a jump/dh stem it has a very respectable weight, doesn't feel at all heavy while riding. Overall, if you're looking for a great looking and performing stem in a variety of lengths look no further!

The Good

Good colors, strong, light, and nothing bad to say.

The Bad

Rise could be a bit more. More downhill bars than for dirt jumping or park.

Overall Review
Strong, light, appealing to the eye, and feel great. Wouldn't recommend them for dirt jumping or park use due to the 780mm width and not much rise (more for downhill).

Chromag Overture Saddle
The Good

The Chromag Overture saddle is one of the most widely used saddles by dirt jumpers slopestyle riders and freeriders alike. The seat can be spotted on the bikes of a large number of pros and can look good on any bike. The saddle itself is extremely high quality. It is extremely comfortable and it...

The Bad

The overture isn't surprisingly strong. I have had friends Overtures creak from the moment that they were purchased and I had one develop a small bit of movement that I cannot seem to fix. They also seem to break more than other saddles. Both of these issues I have never heard of with any seats from...

Overall Review
Overall, this seat is the best they come. Any high end DJ or slope bike needs one. They are the absolute best and truly have raised the bar as to the standard for saddles. Though there are some apparent problems present, I will continue to have the overture as my saddle of choice. This is really just the best you can use hands down.

Chromag Ranger (2011) Stem
The Good

This stem is light, stiff and clean. it gives your bike a north shore feel while also having extensive color options.

The Bad

The stem liked to move a bit during crashes and eventually began to strip

Overall Review
This stem is fantastic for someone who wants the absolute best, quite honestly it is in a category with very few others for some of the nicest products around.

Chromag Ranger (2011) Stem
The Good

Lightweight, great design, canadian made ofcourse :) and stiff

The Bad

There is no 35mm option, price

Overall Review
It does cost alot but I've just bought the third one. I have one on my freeride bike (black 40mm) and I've had one on my fr/am hardtail (gold 50mm). I've currently sold my fr/am hardtail bike to my friend and am in process of building myself a new one, so I ordered a red 50mm chromag ranger stem. The thing is, I've been so impressed with the performance of this stem, that when I was looking at every other manufacturer's high end stem I still could not get over the fact that I wasn't buying chromag. So in the end, when nothing could even remotely compare to the ranger stem I just ordered a new...

Chromag Ranger (2011) Stem
The Good

So light, very stiff, many length options, wider faceplate than it looks, 0 degree rise, low stack height, Canadian Made!, killer with wide bars on any trail bike. In shorter lengths also killer lightweight stem option for your DJ bike. Could go on for days even with such a simple product. Have one...

The Bad

Bad? Some will say price... Chromag can have my money.. Killer service from guys that ride bikes with amazing attitudes...

Overall Review
Chromag is flat out making impressive bits these days... This stem has opened my eyes to their entire line and I will do what I can to run Chromag parts where I can on my bikes... The Ranger is no exception, and is a quality stem with killer performance. As much as I dig Thomson stuff(killer customer service also by the way, and also North American manufacturing always a bonus), i will be running these from now on.

Chromag HiFi (2011) Stem
The Good

Very stout, Zero flex even while running wide bars, good wide faceplate, solid Steel hardware. The way a DH/FR stem should be for single crown forks. Simple, solid construction..

The Bad

Lighter? Maybe... but I think the weight lends to it's solid feel.

Overall Review
Looking for a stout stem for your Mini DH rig with a single crown fork? HI-FI fits the bill to a T... Solid reliable stem, that you will set up and forget about....

Chromag MTB Chainring
The Good

amazing build quality, solid ano, solid weight, graphics are good without going over the top

The Bad

Wide narrow? Maybe? soon? please?

Overall Review
You can tell the paid attention when designing and making this ring. The ano is strong, it's light and the graphics looks solid. Once they make this is in wide/narrow I'll pick one up to replace the sram one on my 1x11.

Chromag Moon Saddle
The Good

Ti rails, solid finish, slim slim slim, comfy, closeout price

The Bad

Hate getting it dirty

Overall Review
My grey saddle is on my Rune which I pedal for extended periods of time. My white one is for my Legend which I'll sit on riding to the lifts. What can you say? It has Ti rails, synthetic leather (durable) and has excellent graphics without being obnoxious. I sit on this thing for hours on end sometimes without a chamois and only after an all day w/ few breaks does my tush start to ache. I say thats pretty rad for such a slim saddle. Oh did i mention I bought both on closeout for $50.00 each. Chromag's service kills too. My grey one was lost by USPS. I emailed Chromag and they had a new one to...

Stiff, solid finish, variety of lengths, looks solid.

The Bad

35mm? Probably in the near future

Overall Review
Got one for my Rune when I was trying to save weight without compromising on performance. Holy cow! The guys at Chromag hit the nail on the head. I have the 45mm in red. I was going to get a Thomson stem but I'm glad I didn't. This thing keeps my bars close in a light package. The quality is excellent so i'm never worry about anything going wrong. The company does a kick ass job with their service too. I bought a saddle from them directly and USPS lost it. I shit them an email and BOOM they had one to me in 3 days with a boarder crossing. Most companies wouldn't probably get back to me in the...

Chromag MTB Chainring

Could go on for days... Great quality, unlimited size options, tons of colors if your into that, fits 9 and 10 speed chains, taller tooth profile to hold chain, and Machined in North America to top it off. Will never run anything else.. (please never stop making these Chromag!)

The Bad

????????????????????????????????????

Have one on all 4 bikes I own. Simple solid Chromag quality. Wish more dealers in California would carry their goods....

Chromag Overture Saddle
The Good

Perfect shape for DJ riding, street, slopestyle, and all around ripping... Grippy, and just enough width to pinch with your legs in the air without feeling like you are running a bus seat. Killer!

The Bad

Could be lighter, but really stretching for something here. Favorite saddle for my SC Jackal.

Overall Review
Was running Chromag Snipe seat, because I hate over sized seats on my DJ bike. Have been avoiding even trying this saddle because it seemed to be thick and heavy. So wrong... Buy one now... You will be stoked...

Chromag Moon Saddle
The Good

Great shape for aggressive trail riding. Nose stays out of the way when post is down and rider is on shred duty, and great alternative spot to climb from when post is extended on long seated climbs. Light with Ti rails and durable leather cover. My newest Moon TI model came with perforated leather...

The Bad

Slightly firm at first use, but what high end saddle isn't... Breaks in well.

Overall Review
Great all-around saddle. Love the shape so much I am running TI model on my trail bike, and Moon DT model on my Entourage. Killer for trail, but makes a great lower profile DH saddle that you can still lean into. Stoked!

Chromag Trailmaster DT Saddle
The Good

Light and Durable

The Bad

Can be uncomfortable

Overall Review
The seat is light and very durable due to the kevlar corners. The color I got was green which I like but I wish there were more color options also the seat can be a bit uncomfortable. The balance between comfort and weight is almost perfect as far as I'm concerned. Overall this is a great seat.

Chromag Moon DT Saddle
The Good

Graphics Burly Construction Secure feel when steering from the inner-thighs

The Bad

Wide profile, hard to get behind Heavy

Overall Review
It didn't take me long to find that the Chromag Moon was not the saddle I was looking for. I put it on my trail bike and found the profile to be too wide for my liking. I kept rubbing my inner thighs on the edges as I was trying to get behind the saddle. I also found it uncomfortable to sit on for extended periods but that could've just been a disagreement with my arse and the Moon. Your arse may give you different feedback. For standing riding (DH, etc) the Moon was great. The saddle felt secure between the legs and really let me put some english into the rear of the bike when needed. If you...

Overall Review
had these for a while now and they are awesome! really suit me and got them because they felt nice on my friend's bike. they look amazing and come in various colours to suit any build. the finish is high quality and won't come off that easily compared to most bars. mine have a few marks from crashes as expected. they are also pretty light but are quite expensive, but in my opinion this is the bar to get if you want to ride anything from dirt jumps to DH
