2024 Salsa Beargrease Carbon X01 Eagle
SalsaCarrying speed in the snow can be a challenge. We designed Beargrease to keep you rolling on groomed snow trails and beyond. 27.5" wheels maintain momentum and the carbon frame and fork keep weight to a minimum. The frame and fork feature bottle and cargo mounts for all the extra equipment you need for endurance effort or just long days out. Equipped with SRAMs X01 Eagle components, this Beargrease is a smooth, efficient carbon fat tire bike for winter racing or hitting local trails year-round.
On-Bike Storage
Carry more on your bike and less on your body. Our frames and forks feature mounts for extra bottles, camping gear, and ride accessories.
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
A long front/center, short stem, and wide bars, and 440 mm chainstays create room to move and add confidence while maneuvering on tight trails. This geometry results in a fat bike that rides like a trail bike. It is stable, steers well in loose conditions, and remains nimble and agile despite the massive wheels and tires. The low bottom bracket height is also key to keeping the riders center of gravity low, which makes dabbing, dismounting, and remounting easier
27.5 X 3.8" WHEEL & TIRE SIZE
Beargrease rolls on 27.5 x 3.8" wheels and tires. For groomed snow or dirt, this diameter provides increased rollover, a longer contact patch, and the flotation of a 3.8" tire without the added rolling resistance when compared to a 26" wheel
KINGPIN DELUXE FORK
Featuring a full carbon design, the Kingpin Deluxe Fork is lightweight and durable, and features an amazing array of accessory mounts to help you make the most of your Beargrease: Dual sets of Three-Pack mounts 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

OPTIMAL DRIVETRAIN DESIGN WITH 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: 197 mm symmetrical rear end for modern rim and tire fit / 100 mm threaded bottom bracket / Rider-friendly narrow Q-factor cranks / 1x optimized frame design / Up to a 32t max chainring
