Framed Bikes Minnesota 3.0 with Alloy and Bluto fork (2016)

The Minnesota 3.0 is the top of the mountain in our Minnesota Fat Bike series! This fat bike has all the great features of our MN 1.0 and 2.0 with a kick! Riders Love the MN 3.0! "Too Much Fun! Most fun I’ve had on a bike since I was a kid! Bang for your buck can’t be beat."
This ground pounder starts with our very own 6061 oversized Aluminum alloy frame set for high intensity riding, but yet light enough to maintain pin-point maneuverability. Then we added a tapered head tube so you can run your choice of the FRAMED Alloy fork, EFBE approved full Carbon fork or the RockShox Bluto suspension fork. The 3.0 series has upgraded drivetrain to SRAM X7 2X10 for even more range and climbing ability and stopping power from Avid BB7 mechanical disc brakes with 160 mm rotors to provide reliable, consistent stopping power in snow, slush and sand. All versions utilize a 190mm rear hub and a 150mm thru axle front hub with a 15mm thru axle to accommodate up to a 4.7" tire on the front and back. The hubs and bottom bracket are sealed for a clean dependable roll. We round this out on Aluminum alloy 80 mm 32 hole lightweight rims to reduce rolling weight and increase strength and performance. Traction is brought to you by our very own FRAMED Minnesota 4.0, 120 tpi folding bead tires with lightweight tubes. Riders agree; "these have a perfect tread pattern to be a true 365 day tire". The result of this great combo is a true take it anywhere, do anything fat bike that won’t break your piggy bank!
3.0 with Alloy fork and Bluto fork; comes standard with the oversized 6061 aluminum alloy rigid fork AND the RockShox Bluto fork, giving you 100mm of shock absorbing control up front. This trail friendly version is ready to tackle whatever the trail throws at it, no matter the season.
The RockShox Bluto fork is a $649 investment in your bike. Most riders investing in a high-end fork like the Bluto will have certain riding preferences, such as your stack height. The last thing we want to do is make an assumption and cut your fork too short. We do not install the Bluto fork so that you can match the stack height to your riding preferences.
