AMERICAN MADE - BUILT FOR ANYTHING
The American Stout is one of the most versatile bikes in our lineup. With massive 27.5”x4.5” tire clearance, there’s not much you could throw in front of this bike that it couldn’t handle. Be it gnarly rock gardens, snowy single track, or a nice cruise down the beach, this bike feels right at home.

Made right here in the US using 100% 7075 aluminum tubing, this bike is built to last. We’re so confident in its performance that we offer a lifetime warranty on all of our frames. Buying domestically yields a number of other benefits. By supporting American made products, you’re supporting local jobs, local businesses, and a more ethical and sustainable manufacturing process.

As with all of the bikes in our lineup, the customization possibilities are pretty much endless. Seriously, we did the math and there’s 46,523,913,960,000,000,000,000 possible combinations. Good thing we have Ben here to keep all those straight!

Due to extreme demand, the ship date on a bike ordered today will be July.
