We will be offering a limited batch of 10 steel fat bikes with an updated geometry this year! Katie’s been testing the geometry sine Feb 2023. To get on the release list to stay in the know or inquire for pre-order details, signup below!

Shout out to Katie Strempke for her 2026 1st place finish on the winter ultra JP’s Fat Pursuit!

We get asked all the time will we make fat bikes again… well we’ll make at least 10 more!

The Darksky Fatbike is being offered as a limited run in steel, TBD if we'll do it again in 2027, so this may be your last chance to score a Chumba Fatbike!
