SALSA CYCLES BEARGREASE CARBON XT | The Carbon Fat Bike That Truly Delivers on Performance
Snow, sand, or trail. A high-performance carbon model that expands the possibilities of fat bikes.
When you hear "fat bike," you might imagine a heavy, clunky ride designed solely for snow. However, the BEARGREASE CARBON XT effortlessly defies that image.
Developed with racing in mind, this bike features a high-modulus carbon frame combined with 27.5x4.0-inch tires, achieving both excellent off-road capability and nimble riding performance. It excels not only on snowy fields and sandy terrain but also on dry singletrack and trail rides.
The modern geometry, with 440mm chainstays, a long front center, and a low bottom bracket height, ensures stable control even at high speeds. While maintaining the security of wide tires, it offers light handling that allows you to carve lines exactly as you envision them.
The Shimano XT/SLX 1x drivetrain provides a wide gear range and reliable shifting performance. Furthermore, the Kingpin Carbon Deluxe fork is equipped with Three-Pack mounts and low-rider mounts, enhancing its suitability for bikepacking and touring.
Its versatility, capable of handling both racing and extended tours, is a major appeal of the BEARGREASE CARBON XT.
