2022 Borealis Crestone Eagle
Specs, Comparisons, Reviews, Galleries
The Crestone is Borealis' flagship fatbike, from a company that specializes in fatbikes.
What we like:
- Ultra customizable options with lots of variety based on your budget and purpose.
- Fit up to 5"x26" or 4.5"x27.5 tires gives lots of options based on your needs.
- Ultra lightweight, this is the lightest fatbike we've seen. Even the cheaper builds come in at 26.5 lbs.
What we don't like:
- We don't own one yet ;)
- They don't share standover numbers because of the customization amount, we would like to see a range at least. For shorter riders this is so important on snow.
