Beargrease was designed to bring fat bikes from expedition steeds to winner circle champs. Unlike the
Salsa Mukluk that is designed to get you and your stuff there,
Beargrease is designed to get you there as quick as you possibly can.
Beargrease Carbon models use a full carbon frame with a 12x177mm rear spacing and Press Fit 41 x 121mm bottom bracket shell. The
High-Modulus carbon frame construction saves around 350g vs the alloy model (based on a medium frame). Matched to the carbon frame is a
Salsa Makwa full carbon fork with 15x150mm spacing and the same axle to crown measurement as a Rock Shox Bluto 100mm suspension fork.
One of the biggest questions we get is
what size tire will the Beargrease fit? While it will vary slightly at the upper end of the size spectrum tires in the size ranges below should fit without an issue.
Front with
Salsa Makwa Carbon fork- 26x3.8-4.8" on 100mm rim
