Altai Hok 145 cm

THE PURPOSE The Hok is designed as an easy to use ski for the backcountry. Its short wide dimensions makes the ski incredibly maneuverable, and the integrated climbing skin gives the Hok great traction for climbing.
The right balance of running base and skin material makes the ski’s downhill speed manageable and easy to control. Bridging cross-country skis and snowshoes, the Hok combines the maneuverability and ease of use found in snowshoes with the ski’s efficiency of sliding forward rather then lifting and stepping with each stride. 
THE FEATURES The Hok features a synthetic climbing skin integrated into the base of the ski, steel edges for durability, and a light weight cap construction. In an effort to minimize our carbon footprint, we use, a sustainable paulownia wood core reinforced with a combination of organic natural fibers and fiberglass. Simple graphics and natural fibers combine with design themes from the the Altai Mountains for a unique look.
THE NAME The name, ‘Hok’ {hawk}, is the Tuwa word for ski in the Altai Mountains. The Tuwas are the smallest ethnic group in the area and the most dedicated skiers.
BINDINGS The skis comes with inserts matching the extended 75mm norm hole pattern. This is compatible with current 75mm 3pin bindings as well as the universal binding we are offering with the ski. We also have an adapter plate that is compatible with Rottefella NNN BC and Solomon BC bindings.

Why Buy from FBC!

Our history with fat biking!

We didn’t come up with the idea but we definitely followed along, closely. The quest to not give up riding in the winter, which is long in our country, began early. The search for the widest tire we could fit on std 26” then 29”. More volume and tire width always made sense as was watching the conditions for the perfect days that would bring a hard snow base to our trails.

Not being engineers, we watched each year anticipating what would evolve to improve the experience. We come from the old school of bike evolution, when bikes didn’t come fully tricked and adding your own flare to your ride was one of the best parts of the journey. Fat Bikes not only make evolutionary sense, but when frames and parts came available it rejuvenated that love for building something original.

Now the fat bike experience can be many things to different riders from dedicated winter bike to year round ripper or bike packing across open country. We’re here to help you discover more on two fat tires wherever you ride in Canada. We take pride in our work to build each customer something they will enjoy each ride 12 months of the year.
