ASSEMBLY
There is some assembly required upon receipt. Your bike will be completely assembled and tuned by Borealis, then partially disassembled for shipment. The remaining assembly will require installation of the rear derailleur, chain, fork, seat post, wheels, and handlebars. A multi-tool will be included with your order that has all tools necessary to assemble the bike, with the exception of a torque wrench. If you are not familiar with this level of assembly, we recommend having your local bike shop complete the assembly. Below is a video showing the remaining assembly once you receive the bike. Tires will be set up with tubes. Tubeless rim tape and valves are included on the side.
Customer Reviews
What an amazing bike! I love the feel, the handling, the look, and the light weight. I’m looking forward to hitting some trails (easy ones, because I’m 67 years old😉).
The order cam by quickly, as you know never quick enough but it was barely a week. Assembly from a non mechanic was actually fun and a learning education. Any adjustments that I now make are easily understood. The Quality of the product is WOW!!!!! Truly a beautiful piece of engineering. The ride has been incredibly enjoyable. The Beach riding is incredible, trails and road, great work out. Smooth and comfortable. Great investment, thank you!
I wanted a fat bike primarily to ride the beach. I did quite a bit of research and decided on the Flume because of its quality components, light weight, and great price.
Living on the coast of Maine, we get our share of snow and ice. Continuing to ride my trail bike has become too dangerous at over 70 y/o. Because the tide cleans the beach of snow and ice twice a day, and of course no cars to deal with, riding conditions are very safe. The sand is pretty well packed at low tide so there aren't any issues riding atop the sand with the 3.8" maxis minions.
Last Sunday I wanted to see if I could ride the full length of the beach and back, 14 miles. It was the best ride of my biking life and the Flume preformed flawlessly.
Thanks for providing a great bike at an equally great price. The addition of the Flume adds variety to my biking. Now my hardest decision is whether to ride the fat or the trail bike.
