The Uemura 177

The Uemura (named after Naomi Uemura, a great Japanese explorer) is Funk’s newest addition to our lineup.  This is a lively, fun, go anywhere titanium fat bike that will make you smile from the first time you ride it!  Built around a 177 rear axle, the bike can take up to a 4.6 rear tire (depending on rim width).  It is based around a 100mm bottom bracket shell, allowing our customers to maintain a reasonable q-factor on those long adventures.  Additionally, this bike is built standard with sliders, giving the rider the ability to fine tune the chain stay lengths based on the tire / rim combination, as well as to run it single speed!  We believe you will find this bike has a home on dirt, snow, sand and everything in between!  If you want to ride what our frame builder Craig Sata rides, then you want this bike in your arsenal!
