It rides where other bikes can't
3/2.5 Seamless Titanium Tubeset +: Custom-spec'd, double-butted tubing. Appropriate stiffness and compliance for a fantastic ride quality. Light weight. Superior fatigue life
Double-Butted Titanium Tubing +: Removes weight where it isn't needed, while maintaining frame strength
170mm Rear Spacing +: Results in a stronger, symmetrical rear wheel while maintaining proper chainline with 100mm bottom bracket
177mm x 12mm Thru-Axle Alternator Plate Options +: Allows use of thru-axle for improved rear end stiffness and precise handling
ZS44 Semi-Integrated Headset Standard +: Compatible with tapered or straight 1-1/8" steerer forks
Fully Formed Downtube +: Stiffens bottom bracket for improved power transfer while improving ride quality and steering control
Dropper Seatpost-Friendly +: 35.0mm seat tube allows use of 31.6mm dropper seatpost for getting rad, riding on rough terrain, and facilitating starting and stopping if difficult conditions
Shaped Chainstays and Seatstays +: Provide maximum heel clearance in winter boots
Titanium Investment-Cast Alternator Dropouts +: Custom-designed, investment-cast titanium dropouts paired with forged aluminum swing plates for Geared, Singlespeed, or Thru-Axle use. Proven in the NUE Series and in the Tour Divide. Alternator Dropouts Instructions
Rear Wheel Evolution Friendly +: Alternator dropouts currently handle Geared and Singlespeed QR, and 12 x 177mm Thru-Axle, allowing you multiple setup options and facilitating rear wheel evolution
Adjustable Ride Characteristics +: Using the Alternator dropouts, geared riders can fine-tune the ride characteristics of their bike by adjusting chainstay length and overall wheelbase to be quick and nimble, or longer and more stable
Set-It-And-Forget-It Singlespeed Setup +: The Alternator dropouts swinging design and set screws offer quick setup and tensioning. Vertical wheel entry means no re-tensioning or brake adjustments are necessary after a wheel change. Slip-free and creak-free performance
Replaceable/Serviceable Hardware +: Alternator swing plates (Geared, Single, and Thru-Axle) are all replaceable, and all the bolt hardware is standard-size metric socket head cap screws (also available in a replacement kit)
Full Length Cable Routing +: Improved performance in poor conditions
Direct Mount Front Derailleur Adaptor +: Problem Solvers Direct Mount Adaptor adds flexibility to drivetrain setup
Rear Rack Friendly +: Designed for use with the Salsa Alternator Wide Rack

Reviews

“The Ti Mukluk receives a similar half painted look as the rest of Salsa’s bikes with a clearcoat covering the entire bike. Raw Ti is beautiful in its own right, but I have to admit that the painted Ti bikes were beautiful in person.”

“In motion, the Mukluk 2 is a contrast of attributes. It lumbers along undaunted in 6” of snow, but when it hits open trail, it rails with authority reminding you that this is no saucer sled, this is a bike with proper mountain bike DNA. At times I’ve found myself mid turn, driving hard, tires growling, not yielding an inch. The traction is astounding on dry trails, reminding me that this bike is not just for snowy days, although that is were it is most fun to ride.”

“The Mukluk 2 somehow has become my defacto mountain bike. I’ve come to believe that this fat bike is what all other mountain bikes, really want to be when they grow up. This is truly a mountain bike for real.”

“I suggest we begin thinking of these bikes as “all-terrain” and not merely for snow.”

“The Mukluk specifically is a great platform for exploratory outings which may be uncharted areas, or otherwise may take you through bits of trail that are difficult to impossible to ride on a “normal” 29″er. It is a stable handling rig and those tires eat up terrain that would stop a typical 29″er in its tracks. Deeper grounds, sand, mud, forest floor debris, and deep rock are easy to traverse on the Mukluk and bring rides into focus that you may never have considered before.”
