Fun Fatbike Edit from Erik’s staff.

Zach, Erik’s Service Manager at the Burnsville, Minnesota store recently put together this edit of a fat bike ride at Lebanon Hills in Eagan. With the recent snow in the Midwest, conditions are perfect for fat biking. If you haven’t already caught the bug, stop by any of our locations and talk to the staff for their favorite winter riding trails.

Coming Soon to Erik’s – Borealis Fat Bikes

Every year the interest in fat bikes is growing, and with it the technology around them. Borealis bikes has been on the forefront of this with the introduction of their Yampa XX1 and Yampa x9/x0 bikes.

Built to be the lightest weight, most versatile fat bike out there. Built on a carbon fiber frame, the foundation of the Yampa is the starting point for an awesome build.  Utilizing a 190mm rear axle and 100mm bottom bracket, the Yampa is a flexible design that is great for speed demons and explorers alike. Yampas even include rear rack mounts in addition to 3 bottle cage mounts standard.

Erik’s will be stocking both models of the Yampa, but only at select locations. Stay tuned for more details!
