morne101 Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Good afternoon hubland. just for interest sake. What is the craze about the fat bikes. As I understand, and please correct me if I am wrong, they are built for snow or softer surface. Where would you use something like that on our trails? It is the same as the arctic bakkies. It is not built for our terrain. Is it just a image thing or do they work. They do not even have shocks.

This bike doesn't have "shocks" - sure, it's not a fatbike but it just happens to be my favourite ride. Not everyone understands but those that do, know. Thanks for the excuse to post another picture . My fat bike is also going to be built rigid, but has 4+ inches of cushy tyres for suspension and incredible traction. Should be a fun ride. Something different. Something new. Something interesting. Something to discuss. Why not?... Read up on the Fatbike forums - you'll learn they are no longer placed into such a narrow minded box and are gaining popularity across various terrain. Jacques Viljoen and rouxtjie 2
