Modern geometry 27.5 fat bike frame
« on: December 16, 2023, 07:50:37 PM »
Looking for something that could compete with the Fezzari King’s Peak, which has a 75deg seat tube, 67deg head tube, 27.5x4.5 clearance and internal dropper post compatibility. Those numbers don’t sound very “modern” by 2024 MTB standards but a hardtail fat bike needs middle of the road geometry for snow riding anyway.

I  want something more playful than my Framed Alaskan Carbon (V1/26”) which with a rigid fork has a 69 HA/73 STA. Add a suspension fork and that seat tube is really leaning back. Reach is hilariously short and this results in funky, tanky handling.

I’m not aware of any unbranded 27.5 fat frames other than the ICAN SN05 and that doesn’t have updated geometry (68 HA, 73 STA, 433mm reach in size Large).
