Additional Features

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

Completely redesigned frame for 2019. 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 a new XS 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" Wheel & Tire Size

Beargrease rolls on 27.5 x 4" wheels and tires. For groomed snow or dirt, the increase in diameter provides increased rollover, a longer contact patch, and the flotation of a 5" tire without the added rolling resistance

Bearpaw Carbon Fork

Featuring carbon construction with an aluminum steerer. This fork features a 150 x 15mm thru-axle that boosts stiffness and improves steering precision. The fork also features our Three-Pack mounts for accessorizing with Anything Cages or water bottle cages.

Front Wheel & Tire Options

The fork included with this frame works with the following wheel and tire combinations: 26 x 3.8 - 5” on up to a 100mm rim / 27.5 x 3.0 – 4.0” on an 80mm rim / 29 x 2.3 – 3.0” on a 50mm rim

Rear Wheel & Tire Options

Beargrease Carbon is compatible with the following wheel, tire, and rim sizes: 26 x 4.3 – 4.6” on up to a 100mm rim / 27.5 x 3.0 – 4.0” on an 80mm rim / 29 x 2.3 – 3.0” on a 50mm rim

Optimal Drivetrain Design w/ Narrow Q-Factor Cranks

The Beargrease Carbon frame is designed for the best of all drivetrain performance while maintaining narrow fat bike crank arms for less knee stress: 197mm symmetrical rear end for modern rim/tire fit / 100mm threaded bottom bracket / Rider-friendly narrow Q-Factor crank / 1x optimized frame design / Up to a 32t max chainring

Internal Sleeved Cable Routing

The Beargrease Carbon frame features fully sleeved, internal cable routing. This improves shifting performance in poor conditions, increases time between maintenance intervals, and makes running new cables and housing a breeze

Dropper Post Compatible w/ Stealth Routing

Compatible with 30.9mm dropper seatposts for true trail bike riding experiences

Rear Rack Compatible

Designed for use with the Salsa Alternator 170/177 Rear Rack, with the addition of a Salsa Rack-Lock seat collar 

Multiple Accessory Frame Mounts

Beargrease Carbon features numerous accessory mounts: Toptube bosses for Salsa EXP Series Toptube Bag / 2 water bottle mounts inside frame triangle on frame sizes SM to XL; 1 water bottle mount inside frame triangle on frame size XS / 1 accessory mount underneath downtube
