On Review: Foundry Tomahawk 27.5 / 650b Carbon Hardtail

Foundry Cycles recently sent over their brand new Tomahawk carbon fiber hardtail race bike for review. The Tomahawk is an evolution of Foundry’s well-tested Broadaxe 29er hardtail, but rendered in new the Koolaid flavor of 650b. Like the entire Foundry product line, the Tomahawk is constructed from carbon with a matte finish that incorporates understated …

They also have a line of higher-end …

Hot on the heels of maddslacker’s long-term review of the 3.5in 3.8in-tired version of Fatback’s aluminum fat bike, I had a chance to take the massive 4.8in version for a spin around the Outerbike test loop. Specs First, and most obviously, this rig sports the biggest fat bike tires you can buy, at 4.8 inches wide. …

Review: Borealis Yampa Carbon Fat Bike

Hot on the heels of my long-term Fatback review, I had a chance to demo the new Borealis Yampa carbon fiber fat bike at Outerbike. Borealis is fairly new to the fat bike scene and is the brainchild of Adam Miller and Steve Kaczmarek, with design input from seven-time Iditarod Trail Invitational race winner Pete …
