Details
Mukluk is Salsa's most versatile fatbike, designed and engineered to excel in the wide variety of conditions fatbikers face. Whether you’re methodically attempting a first route in the Northwest Territories or chasing sunlight in Moab, Mukluk can do it all. Available in carbon and aluminum, 197mm rear spacing accommodates 5” tires, and a 100mm threaded bottom bracket allows a wide range of crank (q-factor) choices. Both frames feature our proven Alternator dropouts, the carbon using our new Version 2.0 that allow for some of the shortest chainstay lengths available. Go singlespeed or geared, rigid or suspended out front, or make use of the stealthy and integrated Alternator Rack/Rack-Lock systems for added carrying capacity via traditional racks & panniers. Dream boldly. The Mukluk won’t back down.
6066-T6 Aluminum Tubeset: Top shelf, double and triple butted, heat treated 6066-T6 aluminum tubing is used throughout the frame. This 6000 series aluminum has better strength and fatigue characteristics athan 6061 and 7000 series aluminums. allowing for stronger and higher overall frame. Additionally, the tubing is strategically shaped and formed for additional stiffness and strength optimization in key stress areas.
Salsa Fatbike Geometry: The geometry used across our entire fatbike line has remained basically unchanged since developing the Beargrease Carbon back in 2012. We've adapted it to all our fatbike models because it works extremely well in all conditions and use cases, whether it be riding groomed singletrack at your local trail, exploring a deserted beach, or embarking across the wild frozen expanses of Alaska in the ITI race. At it's core, we use the shortest chainstay possible in conjunction with the 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 fatbike that is stable, steers, well in loose conditions, and still also feels nimble and agile despite the massive wheels and tires. For 2018, all models, regardless of 4" or 5" tire size, feature 440mm or shorter chainstay lengths! A low bottom bracket height is also key, to keep the rider's center of gravity low, and to make dabbing and dismounting easier.
Bearpaw Carbon Fork: Features a 150 mm thru-axle that boosts stiffness and improves steering precision. The fork also features are Three-Pack mounts for mounting anything cages or water bottle cages.
Alternator Dropouts V2.0: The Alternator dropout delivers incredible drivetrain versatility. Run singlespeed or geared, QR or thru-axle, freehub or Rohloff. Set the Alternator dropouts all the way forward for a shorter wheelbase that results in quick and nimble handling, or set back for more stability - the power is yours.
197 x 12 mm Symmetrical Rear Spacing: Results in a strong rear wheel and frame; maintains proper chainline with crankset.
Rear Wheel and Tire Options: Mukluk Carbon is designed for use with up to 26" x 4.8" fatbike tires on rims up to 100 mm wide. The frame is also capable with the following wheel and tire combinations: 29" x 2.25" - 3", 27.5" x 3.0" - 4.0".

100 mm Threaded Bottom Bracket: Provides the widest number of crankset and Q-factor choices while providing the correct chainline.
Dropper Post Compatible: Frame accommodates internal routing for a dropper post.
1x and 2x Drivetrain Compatible: This frame is compatible with both 1x and 2x drivetrain setups. A removable direct mount front derailleur bracket allows for clean 1x build.
Full-Length Internal Housing Cable Routing: Full-length housing improves shifting performance in poor conditions and increases use time between maintenance intervals.
