New frame colours and gears: Salsa is giving its fatbike fleet a facelift. We show you the new models.
Fatbike racing: Salsa Beargrease
With a total weight of around 12.5 kilos and lots of carbon, the Salsa Beargrease is the most minimalist of Salsa's fat bikes. Amazingly fast and finely finished, but also very expensive, it is the bike of choice for fast fatbike laps in snow or sand - preferably against the clock. Compatibility with telescopic seat posts (internal cable routing) and 100 mm suspension forks rounds off the package for trail bikers. According to the manufacturer, the frame kit should weigh less than 2.5 kilograms.
Changeable: Salsa Mukluk
The Mukluk is also available with a carbon or aluminium frame. It falls into the versatile all-rounder category and offers even more eyelets, numerous tyre options thanks to interchangeable dropouts and the option of mounting front derailleurs and 2x drivetrains. Complete bikes based on the carbon frame, which weighs a good 2.7 kilos, weigh from around 13.5 kilos, while aluminium models almost reach the 15-kilo mark. Also compatible with telescopic seat posts and 100 mm suspension forks.
Heavy lorry: Salsa Blackborow
The expedition cargo bike from Salsa is called the Blackborow. Countless eyelets on the frame and fork plus the huge pannier rack hold everything you need to cycle around the world.
