Mukluk Ti
The Mukluk Ti is our fatbike, designed to provide extreme tire floatation in soft conditions. It rides where other bikes can’t, while also offering geared or singlespeed setup through our proven Alternator rear dropout.
Soft surfaces such as beaches, snowy singletrack, frozen lakes and rivers, and intriguing gametrails are its home.
Floatation, floatation, floatation…a fatbike is nothing without floatation. Wide rims, and wide tires run at proper pressure for the conditions, make the difference between riding and pushing.
But effective frame geometry is equally important. Mukluk Ti handling is stable and rides comfortably at slow speed, allowing riders to avoid dabbing in tough conditions.
Titanium tubing provides the finest ride quality, and is extremely corrosion resistant. Melting snow or adventures beneath the high tide line won’t cause the frame to rust. Alternator dropouts let you run singlespeed for true bushwhack adventures.
The Mukluk Ti can also be turned into a 29er mountain bike with a switch in wheel set. The frame is front-suspension compatible as well.
Ride where other bikes can’t, whether frozen, slushy, sandy, or downright dreadful.
Mukluk. Leave a fresh track.

Setup
The best way to determine your proper frame size is to visit your local bicycle dealer. The fit chart below is a simple starting point, but the enormous variation in human body dimensions make it impossible to guarantee this fit chart will work precisely for you. We strongly suggest you consult your local bike shop in this matter. They will help you make a wise purchase.
