Mukluk Complete

This specific model has been archived. It is no longer being produced or has changed in appearance but is listed here for historical/research purposes.

Mukluk is Salsa’s snow bike. Snowy singletrack, snowmobile trails, and snow-covered frozen lakes and rivers are its home.

A snow bike 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’s geometry is chosen for snow riding. It is stable with slower handling than a ‘typical’ hardtail mountain bike. Mukluk rides comfortably at slow speed without sacrificing handling at faster speeds.

The tall headtube, low standover height, and lower bottom bracket height make dabbing, stops and starts, dismounts and re-mounts much easier when tough snow conditions force you to put a foot down.

Ride the white stuff, whether frozen hard or cold and powdery. Revel in the silence of a forest blanketed in snow. Breathe in the clean, crisp air.

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.
