Ascend Moher Fat Bike

Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s have unveiled an all-new lineup of Ascend Adventure Bikes, engineered to cover every surface and lifestyle. Debuted for the first time at Bass Pro Shops’ National Headquarters in Springfield, MO, Ascend Adventure Bikes are now available for purchase online at basspro.com or cabelas.com and in select Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s retail locations across the United States.
