Patchelicious Posted March 27, 2017 Share FAT bikes have their place.........on the beach, desert and snow !Absolutely! But you mostly see them on the tar roads of Fourways, because some guy wants to be seen as "quirky" by his mates....

Baracuda Posted March 27, 2017 Share http://cdn.mos.bikeradar.imdserve.com/images/news/2017/03/21/taipeid1_068-1490114648624-jgbs0d16ydpi-630-80.jpg It is a pity that there is not more opportunity to test ride bikes.I would sincerely like to know the difference between the above bike on gravel / corrugated Karoo roads and say a 29er Anthem with Ikon 2.1s. Similar looking suspension. If you put road bars on the Giant, would there be that much difference and why?
