2019 Beargrease Carbon Frameset

We spend extra time and care building, testing and re-boxing your bike before it leaves. This takes approximately 5 business days beyond the ship date shown on this page.
This extra step and time allows us to ensure that when your bike arrives to you it will be very easy to assemble for most anyone. Most bikes do not include pedals, so make sure to choose some for your new bike so we can ship them in the same box and you can get our riding quicker!The Salsa 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. For 2019 the Salsa Beargrease Carbon receives an all-new frame with a revised geometry that is closer to the modern trail hardtails like the Salsa TimberJack and WoodSmoke with a longer top tube and shorter stem. The 2019 Salsa Beargrease comes with 27.5x3.8" tires but will also clear most 27.5x4.0" fat bike tires. If you prefer a tire with more volume, the 2019 Beargrease Carbon can still be used with 26x4.6" tires on 80mm wide rims.

Beargrease Carbon models use a full carbon frame with a 12x197mm 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 Kingpin Deluxe carbon fork with full carbon steerer and 15x150mm spacing and the same axle to crown measurement as a Rock Shox Bluto 100mm suspension fork. The brand new Salsa Kingpin Deluxe Carbon Forks have 2 set of Three-Pack mounts on each leg to mount a Salsa Anything Cage, pump or water bottle cage. They also have low-rider mounts for traditional touring.

New for 2019 the Salsa Beargrease Carbon is now compatible with for the first time with a rear rack. The compatible rear rack is the Salsa Alternator 170/177 Rack and you will also need a Salsa Rack-Lock seat collar.

• Redesigned Beargrease Carbon frame
• Color matched Salsa Kingpin Deluxe carbon fork with 15x150mm spacing and 4 sets of Three-Pack mounts
• Includes Cane Creek 40 headset, seat collar, and thru-axles

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.
