SALSA CYCLES BEARGREASE CARBON CUES｜Lightweight Carbon Fat Bike with a Sense of Security
From snow races to trail rides and bike-packing. A lightweight and agile carbon fat bike.
Some days you're riding through winter snowfields, other days you're cruising dry singletrack. The SALSA CYCLES BEARGREASE CARBON CUES is a high-performance fat bike designed to enjoy such a wide range of terrains with a single bike.
The combination of a high-modulus carbon frame and 27.5x3.8-inch wheels provides the high buoyancy and traction characteristic of a fat bike, while also delivering an incredibly agile riding feel. You can continue riding with natural handling on snow and sand, as well as on summer trails.
In addition to the stable geometry with a long front-center and 440mm chainstays, the combination of a short stem and wide handlebars provides agile handling similar to a trail bike, despite it being a fat bike.
The drivetrain features Shimano CUES 11-speed, offering high durability and a user-friendly gear range, ensuring stable shifting performance even in challenging conditions.
Furthermore, the frame and fork are equipped with abundant cargo mounts. This bike is suitable for endurance rides and bike-packing, allowing you to freely expand it to match your riding style.
