Salsa Bucksaw full suspension Fatbike visits town...


This evening i rode a Fatbike that is really impressive, and the first Fatbike i have ridden since the first generation Surly Pugs, Moonies, Salsa Mukluk, Beargrease, and 9Zero7 bikes that has really impressed,, Friend Mike stopped over Friday evening on route to a weekend in the Tweed Vally and brought his Salsa Bucksaw full suspension Fatbike, this is some machine to ride!,

Here the Salsa guys explain the Bucksaw...


We went a 2 hour ride and i looked for a hill to go try this bike,
We have one wee hill around here, and North Berwick Law was climbed and descended while i filmed and took some pics, then had a quick spin, oh yeah!, only a couple of minutes riding the bike but this bike i would love to ride on loose stone paths where it would be in its element,
This bike is not designed for the coast and salt water exposure with suspension seals and shocks, it is a mountainbike, and what a bike for grip! :)














Watching the bike descending on the film i made does not really show anything different to this Fatbike and any other regular full suss bike of normal 27.5 wheel/tyre size,  but it is the control and grip of these wheels that is so impressive...









Happy days!, time to head home...



Crack open the cider, fire up the Chimenea, and BBQ some food as darkness fell...






That is a real nice bike...


Here is a wee film from up on the Law,

  1. Thanks for the post and video! I have a 1st gen stock (heavy) Mukluk that I have pretty much worn out now. Have been pondering buying the Bucksaw, but mostly ride normal undulated pine forest single track so probably not the most ideal environment for this bike to shine. Would you at all consider the Bucksaw for such trails? / Cheers / Per
