2014 Beargrease
Fatbike Racing / Ultra Endurance / Singletrack
The Beargrease Carbon is THE racing fatbike…simple as that. Think of all the terrain you can ride on a fatbike. Now think of riding it fast!
The frame’s massive carbon ‘tubes’ combine with front and rear thru-axles that dramatically increase the stiffness and efficiency of the chassis. The Beargrease Carbon is agile and elegant, with internal cable routing, all excesses removed, and new geometry that will have you forgetting you are on a fatbike.
Whether it is a 40-mile weekend race, or the 1000-mile Iditarod Invitational in Alaska, Beargrease Carbon is your best bet for speed.
Beargrease Carbon. Leave a fresh track.
Designed as a racing fatbike with race agility. Features new geometry with a compact rear end that meets the demands of even the most aggressive racer, while still maintaining the proper weight distribution and stability required for navigating varied and difficult surface conditions. Maximized standover clearance aids dabbing, stopping, and restarting in tough trail conditions
Equivalent to 170mm rear spacing, but thru-axle design adds convenient hub catches that make wheel removal/installation easier; results in a stronger, symmetrical rear wheel while maintaining proper chainline with 100mm bottom bracket
