Product Details

Every now and again, we're all faced with going on a diet, and the same is true for our Fatboy. With the new Fatboy Comp Carbon, we've elevated the fat bike platform to a higher level of performance, strength, and efficiency.

It features a sophisticated 10m carbon construction that's lightweight, ultra-compliant, and stiff in all the right places for the climbs. The layup also allowed us to integrate internal cable routing to keep things clean and simple through nasty conditions.

Sprinkle in a durable one-by drivetrain and some near bombproof alloy wheels, and you have a bike that will give new purpose to winter and more fun to springtime.

An immaculate FACT carbon fiber construction ensures that the frame is lightweight and plenty stiff in all the right places. Internal cable routing is also incorporated, ensuring that slush, sand, snow, or dirt will have no bearing on performance out on the trail.
A FACT carbon fiber fork provides tons of compliance and absorbs chatter, while simultaneously keeping the overall weight of the bike down.
SRAM's 12-speed GX Eagle drivetrain, with a Truvativ Descendent crank, features an ultra-wide gear range that delivers climbing and descending efficiency in spades. On top of this, the one-by setup is notorious for being next to impossible to drop a chain with, plus it provides a significant weight savings in comparison to a standard two-by setup.

The Only Bike That Can Handle A North Dakota Winter

I tried to use a standard all-terrain bike here in the North Dakota winter, but in anything more than inch-deep snow, the bike flounders. Took the plunge and got my first fatbike, the Comp. Have taken two rides for about 12 miles each, and I am amazed at the ride. If you have ever bundled up to ride in -15 degrees F, you know the energy expenditure just getting dressed, much less actually riding. This bike will track through some fairly deep snow, and will grip the packed trails and ice covered sidewalks. Had the LBS install steel studded tires for extra traction, giving a bit more confidence on pure ice. That plus a great headlamp, and I am able to ride after work into the darkness, which comes early in the northern latitudes. I am looking forward to some warmer weather, not just to switch to a road bike, but to try the Comp on some demanding dirt trails where control and traction are more important than speed. The machine is beautiful to the eyes as well, with internal cable routing, a single front chain ring, and a sweet glossy paint scheme on the frame. For me, the bike is well worth the asking price. I only regret I waited so long.
