Mukluk rolls on 26 x 4.8" wheels and tires—this huge tire delivers massive traction, stability, and optimum flotation on soft surfaces such as ungroomed snow or loose sand. The frame is constructed of high-modulus carbon fiber, which offers improved stiffness, better vibration damping, excellent durability, and weight savings compared to other frame materials. Mukluk’s geometry works extremely well in all conditions, whether it be riding groomed singletrack at your local trail, exploring a beach coastline, or embarking across the wild frozen expanses of Alaska. At its core, we use the shortest chainstay possible with a headtube angle and fork offset that place the rider’s center of gravity further over the rear wheel. This location and combination of front and rear center is key to getting a fat bike that is stable, steers well in loose conditions, and feels nimble and agile despite the massive wheels and tires. A low bottom bracket is also key to keep the rider’s center of gravity low and to make dabbing, dismounting, and remounting easier. Additional features that increase Mukluk’s versatility include stealth dropper post routing, rear rack compatibility, and numerous accessory mounts: toptube bosses for a Salsa EXP Series Toptube Bag (sold separately), two water bottle mounts inside the front triangle, and one accessory mount underneath the downtube. It’s got full-length housing that improves shifting performance in poor conditions, and room for multiple wheel/tire combinations, allowing you to dial in your fit or the bike's performance to a specific terrain. Mukluk Carbon NX Eagle pairs our carbon frame with the Kingpin fork and a SRAM NX Eagle drivetrain to offer incredibly precise performance. SUN Ringle Mulfut SL 80 rims are wrapped in 45NRTH Dillinger 5 tires, for a voluminous combination that manages to keep the weight down, too. It’s a combination that is light and responsive when you demand the best of the best.

Mukluk is Salsa's most versatile fat bike, offering the most flotation on soft surfaces and designed to excel in the wide variety of riding conditions that fat bikers face. Whether you’re methodically attempting a first route in the Northwest Territories or chasing sunlight in Moab, Mukluk can do it all. Sun Ringle rims and fat Maxxis tires float over the rough stuff and the snow alike. The 1x12 SRAM NX Eagle drivetrain is the ticket to hill-topping low gears and ripping fast descents while the SRAM Guide T disc brakes keep the fun under control.

The forecast is calling for cold temperatures, a dump in snow, and all you want to do is ride your bike. Sounds great, let’s hit it! There’s no need to put a hold on riding during those long winter months, you just need the right tool for the job. The Blizzard is a proper mountain bike with aggressive trail geometry and massively wide tires, ensuring you’re ready to ride no matter what the conditions are. - Rocky Mountain 6061 SL Series Alloy frame - Rocky Mountain Fat QR Al Light fork - Sram SX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain - Shimano MT201 hydraulic disc brakes - Maxxis FBF/FBR 26 x 4.8" tires
