Lots of action in the fat-bike space at the show on Wednesday. Here are more pix of what we saw. Many of these pictures are of prototypes or early production items. Look for more info on all these products in the coming weeks as we learn more about availability, final specs and pricing.
Vee Tire Co’s Snowshoe is a new 4.7 x 26″ fat-bike tire!
Vee Tire Co is the new name of what was previously called the Vee Rubber Company. In addition, the new graphics look great!

Risse’s Trixxy is available for fat-bikes and is a very reasonable $695 retail with a 120mm hub. A 135mm model is also available. Q/R and thru axle version as well!
See that modular swing arm? Imagine it with a wider yoke that can accommodate a fat-bike wheel because it is coming!

Belt Drive Rohloff goodness.
Wonder what 14 gears in an Internally Geared Hub look like?
Prototype of the Kinesis Aluminum Fat-bike fork. Minor changes and this is going into production.
I wonder what boot this might have been at?

Did X-Fusion give you any idea on the price of the Revel?
Weight on the Risse?
Ballpark here folks but the X-Fusion is in the $1899 range. When we get final, production numbers we’ll let you know! Look for it in about 6 months.
The Risse can be set up several different ways most common is about 6 pounds.
That Stan’s rim has summertime funtime written all over it! Even if it was 500g in full production mode, I’d be into that. And my god that X-fusion fork is pretty sweet. I’ve heard nothing but good reports about X-fusion, but I have yet to ride any of their products.
Steal that gold fork for me. Handsome reward.
I was hoping for Stans to go a tad wider to keep the same tire profile on my 4″ Escalators
Once Stan’s does the 52mm version they will be working on a wider rim. Don’t discount the narrower rim though. With the lower sidewall of the rim tires behave a bit differently.
Bring me back that Boo
Sorry, Tony, you will just have to travel with me to Fort Collins! Should be a great trip!
Krampuuuuus oof, I’m sorry I have just ……oh I probably shouldn’t write that. Um self custardised?
Stan: Add 30mm and call me back!
I think that the Stan’s rims are on the money. Anything between 47-60mm would be sweet for the majority of the year. It would rock if eventually they made a narrow (50-60mm at sub 500g) and a wider option. I’d buy both! I don’t see huge snowfall in VA, so I’d love to have a proper tubeless trail-worthy rim fo’ sho’.
That X-fusion fork looks awesome. Glad to see someone is making a fatbike suspension fork, even if i can’t afford it.
Am I the only one that noticed the Snowshoe tire is being demo’d on a drilled out Mongoose Beast rim?
Stans should roll that 52mm rim to 29″ diamater.
Lets hope that a Final rim is produced in the 75-85 mm range! Any update on availability?
Hey Sven, can you tell me if you know where I can get a replacement rear swingarm for a fatbike?
Some drunk bastard backed into my bike and then ran over it, nearly folding the swingarm like a taco shell.
I am sure it may also depend on brands and measurements, so I am actually hoping to find a cheap “universal” replacement if possible?
Thanks
I’m not aware of any universal swingarms. They are integral to the design of the bike and, without a lot of frankensteining, I think you’d need to get the one for the exact model bike you have. Even variations from year to year of the same model often have changes.
