2017 Beargrease X5 Fat Bike

We take extra care to ensure your bike arrives ready to ride. Our meticulous build and testing process takes about 4 business days before your bike is ready to ship.
This attention to detail guarantees that your bike will be easy to assemble on arrival. Please note that most bikes do not come with pedals. To make the most of your new bike right away, be sure to select a pair of pedals when checking out and we will include them with the build!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 Alloy use double and triple butted 6066-T6 aluminum tubes frame with Q/R 170mm rear spacing and Press Fit 41 x 121mm bottom bracket shell. Matched to the alloy frame is a Salsa Makwa alloy fork with Q/R 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.
