Long Live Chainsaw
Stevie Smith’s love for riding was contagious. Just being in his presence made you want to go fast, whether you were racing or not. We made the Chainsaw to embrace that spirit and carry on his legacy, with an annual donation to the Stevie Smith Legacy Foundation.
Whether you’re lapping the park, lining up for your first DH race or pedalling to the gnarliest trail in town, the only thing stopping this Chainsaw are its brakes. It can handle any trail you throw at it: the aluminum frame is made in Canada and guaranteed for life. It’s compatible with mixed wheels, single and dual crown forks.
Let ‘er rip!
