Description
A bike with some serious snarl. When it comes to off-roading, Chimera bares its teeth. Ready to menace the trails. Smart, rugged and with plenty of gears to get you up and over those mountains.
This beast isn’t one to back down. The Chimera is built around a high tensile steel frame making it both strong and responsive so perfect for weekend jaunts or taking on the trails.
New for 2020, updated frame geometry. Better clearance to allow tyres to spin freely, decreasing the risk of dirt clogging up. We have reduced the head angle for a more predictable/stable ride. Steeper seat tube angle makes climbing easier and pedalling more efficient. Longer front centre increases stability, longer wheelbase increases comfort and inspires confidence in descents.
Other features include lightweight Alloy rims and a powerful V type brake system with lightweight alloy levers, chunky wide mountain bike tyres and a comfort padded saddle.
The Chimera also features 18 speed Shimano gearing with mega range feature to minimize the impact of steep hills. Rock solid specification at an affordable price.

Excellent
My son loved the bike. It was very comfortable to ride and also very smooth. Excellent value for money.

The bikes arrived as planned but unfortunately several of the bikes packaging had been damaged quite badly, presumably in transit. This led to us having to investigate if anything was missing from these broken boxes, luckily for us nothing is missing. We will use this company again but will be very aware that the packaging may be an issue.
United KingdomExcellent service
Quick and easy selection, great choice of bikes to suit and a quick and easy delivery service, this was my first time using Insync and they will be my first port of call in the future.

good value for money, great size for my 11 year old.Only down side is that there is nowhere to fix a water bottle holder
United KingdomFast delivery but bad delivery service
Happy with purchase it’s the best price we found so no issues with product but rather issues with the delivery service the box was delivered upside down and with quite a few puncture holes and tears to the box my husband had to check to see if anything fell out as the holes were so huge!

Expert opinion:
“The Chimera is built for off-roading, equipped with a variety of gears with those steep inclines in mind. Upgraded from 2019, the Chimera SLR is built around a new frame with reduced head angle, steeper seat tube angle and a longer front centre to increase stability.”
