Teacher?s notes: Chumba Wumba is a small custom builder with a loyal following in the pro ranks. The impeccably constructed Zulu is one of MBA?s favorite downhill chassis. It can handle anything steep, rocky, fast or slow. RCR is new in the shock business, but they are the only top suspension maker who services the privateer.
