Almost picked one of these up back in the fall, but an injury has kept me off the bike for a while and I decided against it. Just getting back to riding now, but still snow on the ground, so I'll probably wait until next fall/winter to get a fatty. Good review, though, glad to see I wasn't way off base considering a "cheaper" brand.
great video! just ordered an alaskan bike, waiting for it to be shipped to me. Do you know if you can put 27.5 x 4.5 tires on this bike? I need to put the widest tire possible for the desert riding in Albuquerque

Can I use 26” wheels with 4.8 minions? Is this bike only good for 27.5 wheels?

Yes, I'm running the original 4" but i know you can run wider.
What made you chose the Alaskan over the Wolftrax?
Primarily the geometry and that it comes with 27.5 wheels/tires. The geometry more closely matched my current mountain bikes.
