Otso Arctodus Ti SLX

The Tuning Chip system allows you to adjust the bike's geometry, specifically the chainstay length and bottom bracket height. This lets you fine-tune the handling—shortening the chainstays makes the bike more agile, while lengthening them increases stability for deep snow or long-distance expeditions.

The Arctodus Ti SLX comes stock with a rigid carbon fork, but the frame is suspension-corrected. If you decide you want more comfort on rougher terrain, you can swap the rigid fork for a suspension fork designed for fat bikes without compromising the bike's geometry.

A narrower bottom bracket reduces the 'Q-factor,' which is the distance between your pedals. This creates a more natural, efficient pedaling stance that feels closer to a standard mountain bike, helping to reduce knee strain and fatigue during long rides.

Yes, the wheels are tubeless-ready. Running tubeless is highly recommended for this bike, as it allows you to run lower tire pressures for better flotation on soft snow without the risk of pinch flats.

Absolutely. The titanium frame is exceptionally durable and corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for harsh, remote environments. It provides a reliable, compliant ride quality that absorbs trail chatter, which is a significant advantage when you are loaded down with gear for multiple days.

The frame is designed with clearance for massive tires up to 5.05 inches wide. This provides the floatation necessary for riding on loose, unpacked snow or soft sand where narrower tires would simply sink.
