[@Pedal2pedal2024]

Great review James. Always awesome watching your reviews. I ended up getting a bear grease SLX. also a great ride 🤙

[@stevenvaal7510]

I love this bike.. It's on my next purchase list for certain.

[@sergiomontearroio3485]

top tube bag mounts/ bottle cage mounts are ultra advanced tech, I see why these adventures bikes are getting more and more expensive.

[@johnbeverungen6570]

Thanks for the video. Great thorough review of the bike.

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Thanks for watching and glad you liked it

[@rasmusredfire2667]

Always happy to see your videos…any experience with 27.5x4.5 tires on this beautiful bike….please tell about space between tire end frame in the rear :-) happy trails

[@rockefelleragent1357]

That bike looks very Salsa.. i like the tubing design of the frame.

[@MattiRemonen_Hki]

Salsa ❤️ I own 2015 Beargrease and 2016 Bucksaw. Beargrease is my favorit bike and accumulates most of the km´s.

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Awesome 👍 happy riding

[@shwndh]

What’s the weight limit on this bike with the rider and gear? Always looking for a Clydesdale friendly suggestion for my big boned friends.

[@slide_drexler]

0:53 Lt. Dangle shreds!

[@shaymtbrider7244]

Best fat bike i ever owned n my slx weight 28 lb

[@jaimejimjim]

Thanks man!!!

[@johnnyk6906]

31lbs is impressive for a fat bike and about the same as an entry level XC bikes.

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Yep, pretty impressive

[@dakotafilms]

thxs for the thoughtful review! Any thoughts on mounting options for a "Carbon"-beargreaae for long distance or a towing for weekend or long distance? all the best

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

I think the mounting options are good for doing a long distance ride. I personally bought one of these right after doing the video because I like the bike that much. With about 60 mi on mine. Now I can say it's plenty comfortable, and while I don't carry much on my bike, it has plenty of capacity to do so.

[@cainekolinski6443]

Your video shows a much richer red-fade color on the bike. The Salsa website shows the bike as more of a peachy color. Are the actual production bikes bright red?

[@kp5833]

Yes .... I have one on order and the website is wrong its red which really sucked because I was going to upgrade me as soon as it arrived and had to return everything and swap to red coloured parts . The website orange actually looks better I think

[@cainekolinski6443]

@@kp5833 Hoping mine arrives by the end of the month.

[@cainekolinski6443]

My Beargrease arrived just in time for the first ice and snow of the season. What a GREAT bicycle!! And my color scheme matches the orange pictured on the Salsa website. What a Beaut!

[@harrygrimley4352]

I live in Minnesota. I would love that bike. Would you like my shipping address?

[@cream8701]

No he wouldn't

[@Underfighter73]

Please feature the all new Timberjack.

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

If I can get my hands on one, I will.

[@kp5833]

After seeing this video I thought maybe the Salsa website color was wrong as it looks orange and this video looks red but its definitely orange not the red that your video displayed thank gawd

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Send in some shade are you?

[@trailpimp6369]

Sick

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Agreed

[@jimmygarcia5962]

Add prices at time of upload

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

I do not plan to do that. Thanks though

[@bigmikeshooter]

Too heavy but beautiful... Cheers from Greece..

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Cheers 🥂

[@gearbox1858]

It’s made for snow. Do you need a light bike in the snow? 🤔

[@bigmikeshooter]

@@gearbox1858 you think a heavier bike it's better for snow rides ?

[@gearbox1858]

@@bigmikeshooter I think the weight of this bike is perfect for snow. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@shwndh]

IDK. 31lbs does sound a bit heavy for carbon, no suspension, and no dropper. Not to heavy for me but I expected a bit lighter for a carbon frame. If the frame is just overbuilt, and can handle 400lbs, then okay.

[@Not_Sure_]

I'm going to guess that it's going to be close to 30 lbs. Not less than 27 pounds, closer to 30. If it's more than 30 lbs o would be disappointed. :) Wow, 31+. It's mostly the weight of the tires

[@anthonymc6797]

2lbs of tubes maybe

[@brandonclark8736]

$3000 and no dropper? Ugh no

[@revistadearmas]

To pricey almost 3k ! I was expecting the weight less than 27 lbs Not tubeless out of the box?? I got a 2016 beargrease cost 1,300 when it’s was new. With the old style QR, 2xdrive , mechanical breaks. It’s been abuse like mad but still holding amazing ! 3k for a CF and all those modern upgrades is just wasting money But wherever

[@RyanAggabao]

Going tubeless would easily bring the weight down to less than 30 lbs. And I believe he mentioned a dropper post, just a tiny bit of extra weight. Bike industry is enjoying a huge pandemic boom , price will normalize in the near future.

[@CopperCityPatriot]

Not bad. It's a Minnesota brand. And I've got real hate for anything Minnesota. And why the bland colors? Salsa should take a look at Trek or Orbea, for frame colors.

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Hmm, I personally really like the paint job

[@willienillie6337]

No suspensions?

[@armandojuan64]

I need a fat bike like I need a fat girlfriend .

[@sqd8r]

Some say a waste of money. Others say a huge waste of money.

[@danielsepulveda912]

This crappy bike is not even available, nothing is available right now biking has become something from funny to nonsense

[@GHinWI]

Growler has fat bikes on their site to buy right now
