Great frame at a great price!

I used the Flume frame as a base for a custom fat bike build. Fit and finish on the frame is very good. Tire clearance is also very good. Once built up, the bike handled very nicely and is super fun! It ended up being 32 lbs with a Rockshox Bluto and an AXS Reverb dropper, which is not too bad for a GX build.

The Borealis Flume offers the best fat bike value on the market. This expedition-ready fatty mirrors the Crestone geometry, but does so in lightweight, 6000-series aluminum. Up mountains, down glaciers, and across deserts - the Flume is ready for action. There are all kinds of alloy fat bikes on the market, but none with the Flume’s purebred heritage and durability.
