What I’ve done with the bike this year
I chose the Chilcotin 167 to have a true enduro bike that would be able to conquer the descents at speed, and it sure does. This year, I have raced the Chilcotin in many different enduro races and look forward to many more. The bike has helped my confidence on the downs, helping me conquer even more technical and difficult features. I look forward to seeing where the Chilcotin takes me next!

What did you do to make this bike yours?
- Clip pedals
- Sticker decals
- New grips
I kept the majority of the bike components the same, but I focused on the color scheme to make mine standout! I wanted to go for a dark and evil look on my bike, and to me that means black and purple! I matched some of my components, and sticker decals according to this color scheme!
What do you love about your new bike?
What I love about the Chilcotin 167 is the variety of descents the Chilcotin can ride. Its sends on the flow trails, tackles the rocks and roots on the tech trails, flies on the jump trails, and overall, is an amazing bike. Looking forward to my adventures with the bike!
