We spend extra time and care building, testing and re-boxing your bike before it leaves. This takes approximately 4 business days to prepare the shippment.
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 Mukluk was one of the game-changing
fat bikes when it was introduced moving from wheels that used an offset build to a symmetrical built rear wheel with a wider hub that a traditional mountain bike. The
2019 Mukluk Carbon Fat Bike continues the next evolution of the
fat bike that made the 2017
Salsa Mukluk a success but with the latest drivetrain technology and feedback from previous versions of the
Mukluk, Beargrease, and Blackborow. Keeping with current tire trends the
Salsa Mukluk Carbon now has the ability to run and comes stock with 5" tires. To accomplish this the
Mukluk moves from a 170/177mm rear end to a wider 190/197mm rear end. While moving to a wider rear end isn't revolutionary the geometry is. On previous bikes, you had to either pick wide tires and a long wheelbase or smaller (relatively) 4.0" tires to get quicker handling. The
2019 Mukluk Carbon is capable of running a 4.7" tire on a 70mm rim with 432mm chainstays, the shortest
Fat Bike stays in the industry while giving you the option to pull the Alternator dropouts back and run wider tires on wider rims. Keeping with current trail bike trends the
Mukluk has a longer top tube paired with a shorter stem (50-70mm) and a wide handlebar.
Salsa Carbon Mukluk frames are ride tuned for longer days in the saddle giving up some of the stiffness that the race-oriented Beargrease has for more bump absorbing compliance.
Carbon Mukluk uses an all-new Alternator V2 dropout with 2 positions, 1 for the shortest stays possible and a further back position for excellent tire clearance.
Carbon Mukluk frames are compatible with 190mm versions of the
Alternator Rack when paired with the
Salsa Rack-Lock seatpost collar. The top tube of the
Mukluk has braze-ons to accommodate Salsa''s new EXP bag line.
New for 2019 is an all-new
Kingpin Deluxe Carbon Fork from
Salsa that increases the cargo capacity of the
Mukluk by adding a second row of Three-Pack mounts on each leg for a total of 4 now, or if you prefer to use traditional panniers, low rider mounts are now offered for the first time.
Kingpin Deluxe forks have full carbon construction to save weight over the standard
Kingpin Carbon fork with alloy steerer.
The build kit for the
Mukluk Carbon GX Eagle Fat Bike includes a Salsa Kingpin Carbon fork,
SRAM GX Eagle 1x12 drivetrain, SRAM Guide R disc brakes, Salsa Rustler handlebar, Sun Ringle Mulefut SL Rims with DT Swiss 350 hubs and
