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
Mukluk Geometry
Mukluk’s geometry works extremely well in all conditions and use cases, whether it be riding groomed singletrack at your local trail, exploring a beach coastline, or embarking across the wild frozen expanses of Alaska. At its core, we use the shortest chainstay possible with a headtube angle and fork offset that place the rider’s center of gravity further over the rear wheel. This location and combination of front and rear center is key to getting a fat bike that is stable, steers well in loose conditions, and still feels nimble and agile despite the massive wheels and tires. A low bottom bracket is also key, to keep the rider’s center of gravity low, and to make dabbing, dismounting, and remounting easier
26 x 4.8” Wheel & Tire Size
Mukluk rolls on 26 x 4.8” wheels and tires. This huge tire delivers massive traction, stability, and optimum flotation on soft surfaces such as ungroomed snow or loose sand
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 Mukluk 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
Alternator Dropouts V2.0
Mukluk Carbon is spec’d with a two position fixed plate, with the first of the two openings allowing room for a 4.7” tire on a 70mm rim while keeping a chainstay length of 432mm. The second position sets the wheel a little further back giving you options for larger tire/rim combinations. Adjustable plates are available separately for singlespeed setup or finer adjustments
Front Fork Wheel & Tire Options
The fork included with this frame works with the following wheel and tire combinations: 26 x 3.8 – 5.0” 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
