2015 Trek Stache 29+

Carbon_Dude:
Not a Fatbike, not even carbon, but I'm digging this new bike from Trek.  3" wide tires, 1x drivetrain, and the high chainstay allow it to be compatible with a belt drive if you wanted to build something up with this frame.

I've always liked the Stache since it came out a few years ago.

That looks pretty cool, and for a second I thought Trek was trying to revive the elevated chainstays fad from the early 90s. That'd be funny.

Actually, things come around several times in biking (and most everything else) so this might be the first hint of the elevated chainstays making a comeback. :D

Carbon_Dude:
I admit the elevated chainstay does look a bit funky, but it does provide functionality of allowing for a 3 inch plus wide tire, and belt drive compatibility although not usually something mountain bikers usually have a need for.

Oh, there's a bunch of reasons to go with the elevated chainstays, which is why it was quite the fad for a while.
