Getting a chance to see what it felt like riding the Flume made my Day and to Date is the most Luxurious ride I’ve ever experienced ! So I bet the Crestone is also a Luxurious fat tire experience!! . Great video !!!

[@ElevationEveryWeekend]

Yeah the Flume is a ringer and looking forward to reviewing it

[@bjulaszek]

Great review and footage. Do you have any trail recommendations or favorites in the greater Boulder, CO area?

[@ElevationEveryWeekend]

Thanks for watching! Pretty much everything around Boulder is good and worth riding. One of the systems I like a lot is the Left Hand Reservoir trail system. It has a little bit of single track and climbing, is scenic, and makes for a solid loop. Its also easy to connect with various dirt roads if you want to really boost mileage on a ride off pavement, and easy access to the Boulder Reservoir trails too.

Commenting in June of 2024. What other high end spec light fat bikes should I be looking at along with the Crestone?

[@ElevationEveryWeekend]

I would probably look at the Trek Farley, the Otso Voytek, the Ari (Fezzarri) Kings Peak, and the Salsa Beargrease.

[@helidude72i]

Are you going to review the “Big Iron” from revel bikes?😊

[@ElevationEveryWeekend]

I’d love to check one out, but no plans at this time.

[@williejamehufff3125]

Do you prefer 26 or 27.5 fat tires?

[@ElevationEveryWeekend]

Personally I prefer 27.5, I like the taller wheel/tire combo both aesthetically and I think it performs a little better overall. However I still have three 26” bikes and they are totally fine.
