2012 Mukluk 2
The Mukluk is our fatbike, designed to provide extreme tire floatation in soft conditions. It rides where other bikes can’t.
Soft surfaces such as beaches, snowy singletrack, frozen lakes and rivers, and intriguing gametrails are its home.
Floatation, floatation, floatation…a fatbike is nothing without floatation. Wide rims, and wide tires run at proper pressure for the conditions, make the difference between riding and pushing.
But effective frame geometry is equally important. Mukluk handling is stable and rides comfortably at slow speed, allowing riders to avoid dabbing in tough conditions.
Mukluk 2 features an anodized aluminum frame. Anodizing doesn’t just look nice. It’s also lighter than a painted finish and much more scratch resistant and durable. Aluminum is also very resistant to corrosion so melting snow and adventures below the high tide line won’t ruin your frame.
Want your Mukluk 2 to be more than one bike? Turn it into a 29er mountain bike with a switch in wheel set. The frame is front-suspension compatible as well.
Ride where other bikes can’t, whether frozen, slushy, sandy, or downright dreadful.
Mukluk. Leave a fresh track.

Setup
The best way to determine your proper frame size is to visit your local bicycle dealer. The fit chart below is a simple starting point, but the enormous variation in human body dimensions make it impossible to guarantee this fit chart will work precisely for you. We strongly suggest you consult your local bike shop in this matter. They will help you make a wise purchase.
