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.

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!
After extensive research across all possible options, I choose the custom Flume. I opted for the Manitou Mastodon fork and upgraded to the GX drivetrain to get the lowest gearing possible, with the smallest chainring for maximum torque.
I am so pleased with the quality of the frame and the overall product - this bike is a fantastic value and I don't regret the money spent at all. The 27.5 wheels on 65mm rims are perfect size to go up to full 4 inch fat tires or down closer to 3 inch - I've now run the full scale and I love being able to swap out for exactly what I need, summer vs. winter.
I've turned it into all season explorer, ready for everything from local trail riding to multi-day bikepacking. I also added a Thudbuster suspension seatpost, dual sided clip pedals, a Sonder Confucious handlebar and ergo bar ends. With a frame bag and a seat pack I can go just about anywhere any time of year! Borealis also built me a 29" x 45 mm front wheel upon request, so now I'm running a hardtail fat bike mullet!
Lots of fun - so many options - that's what I love about fat bikes. This bike seems to be the perfect and affordable platform for whatever I want to dream up, and so far I've been able to ride much steeper and gnarlier terrain than my full suspension 29" ever did.

I recently bought a fully loaded Crestone and it is by far my favorite bike yet. I have rode it in many different conditions and it’s a blast to ride. Not the fastest bike I own but the most fun.
I have only ridden my Crestone a couple of times, to date. The rides have been on dirt. So far, I am very impressed with the bike. I am looking forward to riding on the snow. The quality of the bike is very apparent. I also have a Yampa, so I expected the bike to be top notch. Thank you for taking care of me!
Went to a local bike shop where I was able to test ride a fat bike (been on the fence about getting one). Salesman was super informative. Advised me to go to the website and build what I wanted. Easy process. Quick delivery. Nice looking bike. Smooth ride.
I received my new Borealis bike, it came in 2 boxes and was easy to assemble with the tool that came with the bike. I have been riding the trails every day! It is so light weight and handles beautifully around the turns. Plus its gorgeous!!
