Mukluk Ti
The Mukluk Ti is our ride-anywhere fatbike with a premium titanium ride quality. It provides extreme tire floatation and traction and rides where other bikes can’t whether on game trails, sandy beaches, backwoods mud runs, snowy singletack, or frozen lakes and rivers.
When it comes to ride quality, Titanium is the undisputed champion of bike frame materials. It delivers a seemingly magical mixture of stiffness and comfort, while also being lightweight and durable. Titanium tubing is also extremely corrosion resistant. Melting snow, adventures beneath the high tide line, or an accidental dunking in the beaver pond won’t cause the frame to rust.
Alternator dropouts make this an incredibly capable, and versatile, beast. Run geared or singlespeed setups depending on the mission at hand. Pack-rafting, beach riding, and bushwacking? Go single. Trail or snow riding? Gears might be nice.
The Enabler fork futher adds to this versatility. Run waterbottles or Anything Cages on your fork legs for a bikepacking trip. Perhaps a low rider or front rack is the order of the day?
Mukluk handling is stable and rides comfortably at slow speed, allowing riders to avoid dabbing in tough conditions. If conditions do force you to put a foot down, excellent standover clearance helps you stop and restart on narrow, obstacle-ridden trails.
The Mukluk Ti can also be turned into a 29er mountain bike with a second wheel set. The frame is front-suspension compatible as well.
Ride where other bikes can’t, whether overgrown, sandy, muddy, slushy, frozen or downright dreadful.
Mukluk. Ride anywhere.

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.
