Carbon performance, fat-tire confidence: that’s what Beargrease brings to every ride, from groomed-trail races in the dead of winter to summer trail bike duties. Beargrease is a highly nimble carbon fat-tire bike, thanks to its efficient frame, trail geometry, and 27.5" wheels. Bottle and cargo mounts on the frame and fork make it easier to fuel endurance rides or bikepacking journeys. Factor in the rock-solid Shimano Cues 11-speed drivetrain, and there’s nothing in your way.

Beargrease was the industry's first carbon fat bike, and its pioneering spirit is evident in the light and nimble carbon frameset with plenty of cargo-mounting options. The 27.5 fat bike platform improves rollover and reduces rolling resistance—perfect when you're trying to keep your speed up on a groomed race course or singletrack. The 1 x 11 Shimano Deore drivetrain is a smooth-shifting workhorse that brings reliable performance wherever you take it. High-Modulus Carbon Fiber Frame This material offers improved stiffness, better vibration damping, excellent durability, and weight savings compared to other frame materials. Beargrease Geometry 440mm chainstays, longer front/center, short stems, and wide bars create room to move and add confidence while maneuvering on tight trails. Standover height is improved, allowing the addition of an X-Small frame size. This geometry results in a fat bike that rides like a trail bike. It is stable, steers well in loose conditions, and still remains nimble and agile despite the massive wheels and tires. A low bottom bracket height is also key, keeping the rider's center of gravity low, and making dabbing, dismounting, and remounting easier. 27.5 x 4.0" Wheel & Tire Size Beargrease rolls on 27.5 x 3.8" wheels and tires. For groomed snow or dirt, the increase in diameter provides increased rollover, a longer contact patch, and the flotation of a 4.0" tire without added rolling resistance. Kingpin Deluxe Fork Featuring a full carbon design, the Kingpin Deluxe Fork is lightweight and durable, and features an amazing array of accessory bosses to help you make the most of your Beargrease fat bike: - Dual sets of Three-Pack bosses on each leg accept bottle cages or our Anything Cage accessory - Lowrider mounts work with our Down Under front rack for a traditional touring setup - Internal dynamo hub wire routing keeps the front end clean for those upgrading to dyno hubs - 150 x 15mm thru-axle design boosts stiffness and aids in solid tracking on the trail

Beargrease pairs a race-ready carbon frame with the capability of fat tires for the ultimate groomed-trail machine. Its trail geometry, dropper post, and 27.5" wheels grant you confidence in loose corners and descents and make for an all-season ripper. Frame and fork mounts for extra bottles and cargo make it easier to gear up for your long days out or even overnighters, and the high-performance XT/SLX drivetrain is the icing on the cake. For light-and-quick confidence on any terrain, Beargrease is one of the best carbon fat-tire bikes out there.
