CATALYST CHROMOLY

(Some components in these photos may differ from the spec sheets. Please refer to the spec sheets below for accuracy)

The Big Chief is the new head of the 29er tribe in the RSD line. We took the proven design of the previous generation – progressive geometry, short chainstays, custom-blended 4130 steel frame, and sliding dropouts – and gave it a slight facelift, with high-quality finish and paint to match.

This plus-sized trickster still converts easily back to its 29er form, but it rolls proudly on stout 50mm Duroc rims and 2.6″ Schwalbe tires, with a reliable mix of great parts from SRAM, Easton and RaceFace.

Big Chief 29+ is for your modern “ride of passage” – its 110mm Boost fork and compliant steel frame will let you roll briskly and smoothly over your native trails.
