1:15 Salsa rebranded the bike after a consulting company went through their branding and the copy in their literature and website looking for things that could be problematic. Mukluk is actually an awesome name for a winter / snow-centric adventure bike vs Heyday.

Great frame and wheels so upgrading things like the drivetrain will make this a pretty nicely speced bike. I would do tubeless first because that alone will make the bike feel much easier to ride.

I have one of these. Great bike but they missed the boat on rear eyelets. I am struggling to find a rear rack solution.

I love the 26-in wheel choice for this model, allows for so much flexibility. 26X4. 0 for a lightweight, snappy handling cross country application or 4.8 in for ultra flotation.

another great review, but after watching your Farley 5 review, I like the Farley 5 better as it has more mounting points. This Heyday is less expensive though.

I don't see rear rack mounts. My Surly Wednesday has some. I ride my Salsa Rangefinder for adventure as well, 2.8's fit and it has rear rack mounts.

Hello James. How this d5 tires rolls in summer /autumn conditions. It is big question is it capable to drive all season?

[mickaelcinqueux]

Hello, my name is Mike, I live in France and I am 1.94m tall. I am quite tall. I would like to use this bike for light off-road riding and especially biking. Would this bike fit me? It is not widely distributed in my area and I would like to know if it would fit me because I am tall.

We can't say Mukluk because it's a boot worn by people we can't call Eskimos anymore. Lol

I think the best fat bikes are the older ones, pre 2018, modern geometry just doesn't work on a fat bike, shredding up the downhill its all good, but everything else requires more effort, unless it has a motor, but then it's in a different category.

I'm not judging the worth of this beautiful bike and i love buying local but i couldn't justify that price. Just me i guess. Thanks for sharing this with us

Max size on 26 inc 5.0 on fat bike plus 27.5 4.5mm

przez chwilę dawałem szansę rowerowi, jednak rama z aluminium - już bym go szybko zarwał :(

[DavidBuckspan]

No pedals? "Best" might be a stretch. I love my Wednesday.

They probably changed the name for cultural appropriation reasons.

[turboelephant]

That's some PR spin at the beginning, they renamed the bike because they consulted some fuckwits that told them people would wet themselves if they continued on with the name of the bike. I'll post their exact statement:- "“In 2020, Salsa consulted with a third-party group to audit our product names for problematic or offensive vocabulary. The audit and other external feedback identified the Mukluk name – inspired by traditional indigenous footwear in arctic regions – as potentially problematic. With this in mind, we have chosen to change the Mukluk name for MY24. We have developed a new name, Heyday!, that speaks to our brand values and the platform’s ride experience. We recognize that we have appropriated and benefited from the use of an indigenous term, and we are working on a plan to support the affected communities. We will have more to share in the future“ The hilarious thing is, fat bikers have spoken to the indigenous people they were worried about offending, and they were annoyed that anyone would think they'd be offended. Call the bike a Mukluk.

Be better with a Wren 120mm suspension fork. Halo Wheels. 29x2.8 front/27.5x3.8 rear. Renthal carbon bar. And a chainring protector for stony trail abuse.

[THRENO]
