Honey Off Trail

This past weekend at the New England Builders' Ball Honey launched its first Fat Bike. Like all things Honey we cooked up something very special. The bike has been in development for over three years. We wanted a bike that wasn't just a winter fat bike but was a bike equipped to go off trail. We hope you are as excited about it as we are!

Honey Off Trail:

Honey lives to explore, and our Off Trail model sets out to do just that. The term ‘off trail’ is a backpacking term, to note when you are literally going off the trail to explore. It emphasizes an experience free of constraints, as opposed to seeking a shortcut to a specific destination such as a scenic viewpoints or summits.

Not just for the sand and snow, we wanted to make a bike for riding where the trail ends. Not to put limits on any potential escapades, we have created a bikepacking version, for overnight adventures, and all conditions version for those unexplored patches that are  closer to home.

To give you the exact handling and features you want out of your ride, the Off Trail also has the ability to be set up with drop bars or riser bars.

Price: Frameset with painted to match fork and stem: $2,245 Complete Bike – Shimano 1x10 XT Kit, Race Face Cranks: $5,422

The Night Weasels Cometh

The Night Weasels Cometh is a legendary night race held during Holy Week of CX in New England. Honey has been sponsoring this grassroots mid-week race for the last three years. Kirk of Skunkadelia has been creating the trophies for Honey from day one. His trophies are works of art and reflect what cyclocross is all about. We are so lucky to have such talented people as Kirk working on Honey! The Night Weasels' Trophies have become one of the most coveted trophies in cyclocross.
