Why Fat Bikes?
A perfect all season bike that can take on many different types of terrain. Why choose a fat bike...?
Bigger Is Better
Enjoy superior traction with big, fat tires. These bikes are typically equipped with 3.8 inch or wider tires, and are designed to support lower pressure for better surface contact. What that means for you is unparalleled traction and stability in soft, sketchy terrain such as snow, sand, mud, and loose gravel.
Handle Anything
If you're thinking that a bike designed with giant tires is going to feel sluggish under you, come in and try one out - we know that you'll be pleasantly surprised. Fat bikes feature compact geometry that is characteristic of a traditional trail bike, ensuring that you don't compromise handling or responsiveness as you're out playing in the rain and snow.
Remarkable Versatility
The conditions that a fat bike can handle aren't the only thing that makes this bike category so versatile. Fat bikes come in a variety of frame materials, include carbon fiber, aluminum, and steel, and with a range of component groups and suspension setups.

High Quality Helmets
Everyone needs to wear a helmet at all times while they are on a bicycle, so we suggest you pack an appropriate mountain-biking trail helmet. As we are riding in the winter, please ensure you can fit a head covering under your helmet, and in some cases you may consider sizing up for a winter helmet to be able to fit this extra layer. Remember, helmets need to fit snug, but not squeeze our head painfully, so please ensure you fit your helmet appropriately.
Front & Rear Lights
Front and rear lights ensure a safer, smoother riding experience. Add reflective equipment to your setup for additional coverage on the road and on the trail. Studies have found that daytime running lights improve visibility in all conditions, so there’s never a bad time to shine. Check out our selection of bright, durable front and rear lights.
Flat Pack & Floor Pump
Make sure you have the essentials such as: pump, pressure gauge, spare tube, zip ties, and a small pair of pliers. Other handy tools include: a chain breaker, tire lever, and the usual hex and torx bits.
For at home tools we recommend keeping a low pressure floor pump handy, a bike work stand, a full set of hex wrenches, bike grease and grease gun, a chain cleaning kit, spoke wrenches, and of course chain lube.
Water & Snacks
Even though we're riding in the cold, we are still expending energy - so we need to stay fueled. Remember to bring some snacks on your ride, but remember they may freeze, so plan accordingly. We suggest dried fruit bars, or crunchy energy bars as they tend to freeze less.
