Great wheelset1

Needed an affordable, durable fatty upgrade and this set fit the bill perfectly. Bonus points for being the absolute easiest tubeless install ever!

26” HED Big Aluminum Deal

What a beautiful set of wheels! Took a little more tire sealant than planned to get the rims to stop pushing air out the nipples but in the end we sealed up no problem!
Super light and very well assembled. Haven’t ridden them much yet this season, no snow but the fit and finish is stellar. Borealis Hubs spin nicely and feel very well made.

Great!!

This was a great sale, and we have always loved HED wheels, so we couldn’t pass them up!!

Great Fat Wheelset

These are my first set of HED rims. So far they were really easy to mount tires on (Gnarwall's) and look like they're holding pressure (Tubeless). The free hub has a nice dull ratchet sound and feels like a very narrow engagement. So far I'm really happy with them. My one and only complaint was the use of chrome (Brass) nipples and 2.0 gauge spokes. I'll replace them later with some Competition DT Swiss spokes and alloy nipples. It's still a great deal!

Very Light, Dependable, and Looks Good

I would have given this a 5 star but I was surprised the spokes were silver. I did not see an option for spokes which I would have go for black colored to compliment the overall scheme of the rims. I am not returning them just for that but I wish there was a warning or an option in the page.

My journey started with a my buddy buying an analog fatty and encouraging me into following him. I’m 63 years old, live at 8,400ft elevation in Eastern Sierra, been riding eMTN bike several times a week for just over a year, and it seams like everything I ride is uphill. I tried my buddy’s bike and I could not climb my normal route (1,000ft/7miles). I began researching fatty eMTN bike and quickly found Borealis Keystone. I lamented for several weeks and pulled the trigger early November 2024.

I had questions on choosing the right tires/wheels. The staff was very helpful discussing my riding style/needs and helping me select the right combination (26”, 4.8”).

The bike arrived 3 weeks later (delayed at my request d/t travel). It was meticulously packed and I assembled it on my workbench/clamp. It took about 4 hours (I’m kind of slow and it was the first time. I had not changed my own tire in 50 years). I called the shop for assistance in assembling/sequencing the rings at the head tube. They were quite helpful and got me back on track. I was surprised to learn the bike did not include pedals and it took me several days to acquire some. [Recommendation to Borealis, give options to choose pedals/opt out during the purchase process, just like tires and wheels].

This bike has exceeded every expectation. It handles soundly. Shifting and breaking were flawless without any user adjustments. I can travel uphill/downhill with confidence.

Regarding the battery/range. My ride last week (1hr:43min, 2,746ft elevation gain, and 14 miles) left me using 40% of the battery. I failed to charge that night. I followed this with a longer/steeper ride/climb (3 hrs, 3,865ft, 25 miles) and ran my battery dry in the last 1/2 mile. I mostly ride in ECO mode and occasionally use TRAIL and seldom use BOOST. I can conclude that if you need more than 5 hrs and 6,600 elevation gain, and 40 miles, on 3-5 psi, then you might consider carrying an additional battery.

Regarding versatility, during these two rides above, I traveled on snow, ice, sand, rock garden, slush, hard pack road base, gravel, asphalt, and 12” deep creek. During these two rides, I only lost control when crossing the creek and found an unexpectedly deep rut. This caused me to step off my bike. On other rides, I went down when hitting ice as I did not opt to put studs in the tires (live and learn).

There is truly no terrain this bike cannot handle (however, I recommend considering studs for ice, I have not tried this option).

Today, I noticed my rear brake was soft and the lever pulled back to the bar. I had to stop my ride. I’ll take it locally for a bleed tomorrow morning and hope to ride in the afternoon.

If you want to HAVE A BLAST on the mountain or just want to expand your riding season to 12 months a year, this bike is for you!

Borealis Crestone

Love my new FatBike , ordered online with the help of a sales rep, built my own and got some extra wheels 👍

My new Fat Bike

I received my new Flume in two boxes and packaged well. Assembly and adjustment were easy and there is also a video to guide you through the process. After riding it for the first couple of miles in the snow I knew that I made the right choice by going with BOREALIS.

Fits and looks nice.

The customer service closed the deal for me. They answered all my questions in detail and responded to emails within 24 hours. Bike packaging and assembly were pain free. Make sure you follow the assembly video. I am 100% satisfied which is rare since I’ve owned and rode many bikes over the years Thank you.
