Im interested in a nutrail to replace my fatboy. The fatboy is great but im looking to improve it for trail riding. I’ve looked into adding a bluto but would need to change the front hub so I’m considering replacing it with the nutrail in order to get a bike more suited to front suspension. The fatboy has a steepish head angle so I’m not sure how it would take a bluto either.
My fatboy is a 19″ and I’m 5’10” so I’m at the bottom of the size range. I like the reach on the fatboy and I’m using a 50mm stem. The standover is enough too as I can run a 125mm dropper.
looking at the cubes, it seems that a 19″ would be needed to achieve a decent reach but the 17″ looks better for standover. If anyone who’s owned or ridden a nutrail could give me an idea of sizing, that would be great.
or would I be better sticking with the fatboy and adding a bluto after all as at least I know it fits?
