Rhino FLT

Looked at a lot of options before deciding on the Rhino FLT. I wanted a bike that can serve more than one role, as I can't justify purchasing something that will sit in the garage half the year. Winter riding, summer trail riding, bikepacking adventures, the Rhino checks the boxes. I'm particularly impressed with how it handles my favorite singletrack trails in the snow - it handles like a nimble mountain bike with a little extra confidence built in. Looking forward to entering some fat bike races this winter, before tackling some bikepacking trips come spring. Excited to try out the rhino in multiple roles.

I am enamored with this bike. It snaps around in corners, has a respectably high BB (THANK GOD NO PEDAL STRIKES!), and is one of the most well thought-out designs I have seen in a long time.
Mine is a typical mechanic's frankenbike with regards to spec but man, is it fun. It is solid and predictable. I switch it back and forth between running with a carbon Fatback fork and a Mastodon. It is a blast in both guises so, yeah...I'm digging it.

Thanks, Mr. Fuzzy John!

I'm a cross country skier at heart but when the American Birkebiener was cancelled in 2017 I was already committed to a trip to Wisconsin. With not enough snow to ski on I decided to buy a fatbike. I went to my favorite LBS and rode bikes ranging from 1500$ to 5000$. I took them all around the block but I only had to ride the Rhino FLT about 10 feet before I knew I had found the bike for me. I turned around, went back inside and bought it. Now a year later I still really like it. It feels nimble for a fatbike and climbs like a tractor. (this is good)...
My friends admire the paint job and so far it's been 100% reliable. It's fun to ride, shifts well, the geometry suits my riding style and I feel confident chasing KOM's knowing the bike will perform better than I can.
I'd buy another one.

I test rode all the major fat bikes and hated them because they felt truckish. The geometry on the bikes was wrong and too much weight was on the front wheel making it steer like a truck. I wanted a bike that felt like a mountain bike, not a fat bike. The rhino is not your typical fatbike. It is nimble quick and definitely not truckish. I specd mine with Shimano slx and I am impressed it shifts and stops as well as my Ibis bike specced with Shimano XT 11 speed. In the summer I switch out the 26" fat wheels for 27.5 Stan's Baron wheels. I have an incredible bike for bike backing and a great spare bike for my son or friend to ride. Totally satisfied with this bike and I now get why people love fatback bikes. Keep up the good work.

I have both the Rhino FLT and Skookum, but I set them up a bit different and love having both. My Rhino is set up rigid while my Skookum has a Manitou Mastodon fork. Like the Skookum, I ride my Rhino on a bit of everything. The rigid fork gives a direct and precise feel on technical lines. Most trials lines are easiest on a rigid and this bike can handle some pretty tough sections. It is also great for pumping through rollers and finding roots, rocks, and other obstacles on the trail that can be used to gain speed from pumping. The FLT frame saved quite a bit of weight over the last Rhino frame, and that is definitely noticeable on climbs and while maneuvering the bike. While it is not as light as the Skookum, it is a great option if you don't want to go carbon. While I like my Skookum just a bit more, I would be happy with either bike.
