Given the excitement surrounding the small run of prototype Esker Hayduke LVS fat bikes the brand has been testing and teasing throughout the past year, they’re offering a limited production run. Interested in an extra-long titanium fat bike? Find details on the new Esker Hayduke LVS FAT here…
Esker’s stretched-out Hayduke LVS turned heads when it was released a couple of years ago, and I remember nearly everyone on our team pleading their case to be the one to review it. We ultimately published a three-in-one review, with Logan, Neil, and TJ Kearns all spending some time with it. Find that linked in the Further Reading grid at the bottom of this post.
You might have spotted a prototype of the fat-tired Hayduke LVS online during the last year, as the Minnesota brand has been testing a small fleet of them. They garnered enough interested that they’ve now committed to producing a limited production run of the model they’re calling the Esker Hayduke LVS FAT. Given the volatility of the fat bike market, these will only be available during the pre-order window.
The titanium Hayduke LVS FAT costs $2,950 and features 600mm chainstays with clearance for up to a 26 x 5.0” or 27.5 x 4.5” tire, custom seamless 3/2.5 titanium tubing that’s double-butted and cold-shaped, a whopping 30 mounts for hauling bottles and cages and attaching racks, adjustable Portage Dropouts that pair nicely with a singlespeed drivetrain, UDH compatibility, external cable routing, a threaded bottom bracket, and a 44mm headtube. It will work with a 120mm suspension fork or a 495mm rigid fork. Find the full geometry chart for all four sizes below:
