David was very helpful during the build process! He was quick to answer any questions I had. Very pleased with the frame and the support.
This bike is so much fun! There are so many ways you can ride it, I can’t wait to try them all! The color looked even better in person(green). As soon as I got everything together it was so well tuned that the gears shifted flawlessly first try. it was a bit more work to put together than I anticipated but I think that’s mostly because I ordered the Manitou Fork and they installed the front brake stuff on the borealis fork that it also came with and the instruction video didn’t cover anything about installing the manitou fork and subsequently swapping the brakes over to it. I was able to get it done but it definitely added a good chunk of time to the job. like I said though once it was all together the bike performed amazingly and I can’t wait for the first snow! Also their shipping was super fast they’re super on top of getting it shipped out. I’ll be back to get a full wheelset for my summer wheels/tires in the spring! Thank you!
After tons of research and very high expectations, I ordered a Keystone. The bike came very well packaged and set up perfectly and assembly was very easy. So far, the bike has exceeded my expectations especially on single track. I ordered mine with Mulefut 27.5” x 65 mm wheels and 4.3 Yippee Ki Yay tires. The set up rolls over everything and really sticks to the ground no matter what the trail throws at it. They are a great all around tire.
The fork set up for me was very quick and easy and performance is great matching the rest of the bike.
Electronic shifting is buttery smooth and very sweet.
Shimano EP8 is very seamless, yet makes me feel like Superman when needed. The bike climbs steep and loose hills like nothing. I can’t recommend the bike enough. My only recommended change would be to the handlebar grips. I couldn’t wrap my fingers around them and my hands slipped, I replaced with round.
Overall, I am thrilled with this purchase and ride it as much as possible. I am an older rider(63) getting back into mountain biking and loving this bike! Thank you Steve and Borealis Crew!
The entire process was smooth, and the special discount to Military & Police is greatly appreciated. I have been a mountain bike rider for years, and taught biking for the police, and this is my first fat-tire bike. Top-notch product and beautiful carbon work. I can't wait to get it out on the sand and snow!
