SALSA CYCLES BEARGREASE C X01 EAGLE | A Carbon Fat Bike for Fast, Far Riding on Snow
Maintain momentum on snow. A lightweight carbon fat bike built for speed and capability.
On snow, sand, or soft ground, maintaining speed greatly enhances the enjoyment of your ride. The SALSA CYCLES BEARGREASE C X01 EAGLE is a performance fat bike designed to efficiently navigate such environments.
By combining a lightweight high-modulus carbon frame with a Kingpin Deluxe full carbon fork, it achieves a nimble acceleration and excellent vibration absorption uncharacteristic of a fat bike. This allows for high cruising performance while minimizing fatigue during long rides.
The standard 27.5×3.8-inch wheels offer a high-level balance of flotation and rolling performance on snow. With smoother rollover capabilities compared to 26-inch fat bikes, it handles a wide range of conditions from groomed snow trails to deep snow.
Furthermore, the stable geometry, featuring a long front center and 440mm chainstays, provides natural, trail-bike-like handling even on snow. This makes it a versatile bike, suitable for winter races as well as year-round trail riding.
The wide-range gearing and precise shifting performance of the SRAM X01 Eagle 1×12 drivetrain ensure reliable propulsion even in challenging conditions.
