The 2016 Trek Farley - The Tire Sizes Just Get Bigger!

2016 Trek Farley - Now With 5" Tires 


Trek says all the reasons that 27.5 wheels have an advantage over 26-inch for regular mountain bikes applies to fat bikes as well: larger contact patch, better angle of attack and shorter sidewalls for less bounce. Combined with the redesigned Stache model with 29×3 wheels and tires, Trek now has one of the widest “fat” product lineups in the business.

The new bikes are actually designed to fit multiple wheel sizes, as some models are equipped with the fattest of the fat tires and others are spec’d for better performance on trails or groomed snow. The new bike has moved to a 197 mm rear thru-axle while maintaining the same Q-factor as the previous model that could only fit a 26×4 tire.



Stranglehold dropout

Horizontal sliding dropout with reduntant securing mechanisms allows for no slip singlespeed or geared options and provides the ability to dial in the geometry to match each rider's style.

Allows for 15mm of adjustment to accommodate 27.5" x 4" or  26" x 5" tires






Internal Derailleur Routing

Sleek ports at the head tube and near the seat tube let you route your derailleur cables through the frame to keep your bike running smooth and clean.
