Description
The Farley 5 is the ultimate go-anywhere fat bike. Arctic tundra? Farley’s game. Sandy desert singletrack? Farley’s lofty tyres will keep you afloat. A winter bikepacking mission through rugged terrain? Sounds like a walk in the park. The Farley’s all-new geometry is more capable than ever with a slacker head tube angle for more stability and a steeper seat tube angle for pedalling efficiency and comfortable reach. Up front, its carbon fork is loaded with a variety of mounts, so you’ll be able to load up gear for the adventure of your dreams.

Fat and fast
27.5″ fat tyres give you the best combo of all-terrain grip, stability, flotation and fast-rolling speed
Adventure-ready fork
Farley’s new, short-offset OCLV carbon fork puts you in an optimal position over the front wheel, upping traction over sketchy terrain while allowing for a shorter stem. A customised rack mount on the crown and thoughtfully positioned triple bottle bosses (64 mm spacing) on the lower legs let you gear up without sacrificing handling. Protective rubber bumpers on the bottom of the fork legs keep the Farley upright and manageable when the front wheel needs to come off.
Haul of the wild
Mounts all over the frame let you carry a wide variety of gear with endless customisation options. Gummy bears? Extra layers? Camping gear? Haul it all.
Keep it clean
Internal routing helps to protect Farley’s components from the elements and makes it easy to mount gear
Rapid Drive 108 rear hub
With 108 points of engagement, Rapid Drive gives you nearly instant acceleration instead of a clunky lag when you step on the pedals. You get smooth, immediate power to blast out of corners and hammer through the rough stuff. And that extra pedal ratchet adds control that can make all the difference when tackling a tricky climb.
Upgrade your pedals and love your bike more
Pedals are two of the five touchpoints that connect you with your bike, and even though this bike comes with a pair, upgrading to pedals that boost control and grip will greatly improve your ride. See the pedal guide and find the best pedals for your riding style. We recommend flat pedals for simple versatility.
