Framed Minnesota LTD Fat Bike Sz 20in

Works great. I bought this one for an entry level fat tire and am loving it. Was going to buy a Minnesota 2.0 because of the price but this bike is infinitely more upgradable out of the box ie. studable, easy fork upgrade. I also like the Ltd because I wanted hydraulic brakes which are so much better than mechanical disk and the 1/20 drive train is up to date.

For the price point it is incredible. Handles much better than previous fatbikes I have ridden - only wish it had a suspension fork option from the factory

So I’m going to give this bike a chance but so far it is not doing so well. The chain busted within 100 feet of my first ride. I’m giving it three stars and if nothing else goes wrong I will consider giving it a higher rating, but the more that goes wrong the lower the rating it’s gonna get.

Great bike for price. Thru axles are key. Stand over height could be lower for snow biking but I knew that from the photos. I studied the tires added a Bafang Motor crazy fun

Light for the price. Easy to get ready out of box.

New Fat Biker: Solid, great looking fat bike. The shipping was solid and no issues. My local bike shop guy said it was super simple to assemble and cost me $25. Everything works great even when coated with layers of ice and slush - I couldn’t care less that (allegedly) the shifters are less seamless than more expensive components, I actually like that I can hear/feel the determination of the shifting and IMHO is better than I’ve ever operated. I love the studdable tires too. So realize this is only a $1000 fat bike...still.... the handle bars could be a bit more ergonomically friendly for the price. Conversely, (as implied at the beginning of review) I’m not a serious rider, therefore no biggie for me personally. And that said, the bike still looks/feels like other fat bikes I’ve tried out for over double the price.

1. After my GF ordered this bike, and after a week went by and she had zero communication from Framed, she called and they admitted they hadn't acted on her order.2. On her second ride, the derailleur pushed the chain over the cassette which lodged it between the cassette and spokes, forcing the derailleur to bend rearward and upward with the bike's forward momentum, breaking the derailleur in several places, with the chain scratching up the frame. Framed says the derailleur received an impact, which it didn't in snow, slush and mud - so their would be no warranty replacement and repair.Be warned, Framed is not a good company and they don't make good fat bikes. Buy from a different manufacturer.

Solid bike, nothing too flashy or remarkable about the bike, but it is a tough work horse that gets the job done and relativity lightweight. Great entry level fat bike for people who are looking for a good bang for their buck.
