Specifications:
Frame & fork made from 4130 chromoly steel – robust, durable and ED-coated to resist corrosion
• Compatible with 26" fatbike tyres up to 5.25" wide and 29 x 3.0" plus-sized tyres
• Modern standards: thru-axles (12x197 mm rear, 15x150 mm front), dropper post-compatible, IS brake mount
• Suspension fork compatibility: up to 140 mm travel (571 mm length)
• Bottom bracket: 100 mm BSA threaded, ideal for wide fatbike cranksets
• Mounting points: bottle cage mounts, Three-Pack mounts on the fork, rear rack and mudguard options
The frameset is designed for 26 x 4.8" wheels and offers maximum tyre clearance:
• Frame: up to 26 x 5.1" at the rear, 26 x 4.8" at the front, or alternatively 29 x 3.0"
• Fork: up to 26 x 5.25" or 29 x 3.0"
The actual tyre clearance depends on the rim width and drivetrain configuration – in some cases, the chain may be the limiting factor, not the frame.
The geometry allows for a maximum suspension fork length of 571 x 51 mm (fat bike with 140 mm travel, measured at full extension). The rigid fork is 483 mm long, with an offset of 47 mm and an axle-to-crown measurement of 483 mm.
The rear end is designed for 12 x 197 mm thru-axles (Surly axle included), whilst the front end is designed for 15 x 150 mm thru-axles (also included). The front brake mount is IS 51 mm with a maximum rotor size of 203 mm.
The head tube is compatible with a ZS44/28.6 (top) and EC44/30 (bottom). The steerer tube, stem and crown race each have a diameter of Ø28.6 mm and Ø30 mm respectively.
The frameset accommodates a seatpost with a diameter of Ø30.9 mm and is dropper-compatible. The seat clamp has a diameter of Ø33.1 mm. A Ø34.9 mm clamp is provided for the derailleur, featuring a High Direct Mount top-pull design and a 55 mm offset adapter (not included).
The bottom bracket is a 100 mm BSA threaded (1.37" x 24TPI). The maximum chainring size is:
• 1x (Fatbike 190): 34T
• 2x (Surly OD): 22/36T
The actual chainring clearance depends heavily on the components and configuration.
