Whether you're into fat tire mountain bikes, searching for fat bikes for sale, or interested in e-fat bikes, we've got you covered.

What is a fat bike?

A fatbike is a specialized bicycle designed for winter riding and challenging terrains. Its standout feature is the wide, oversized tires, typically ranging from 3.8 to 5 inches in width. These extra-wide tires provide exceptional flotation and traction on snow-covered trails, making fatbikes the perfect choice for winter enthusiasts looking to conquer snowy landscapes with ease and confidence. With their unique design, fatbikes allow riders to explore snowy trails, icy paths, and other winter conditions that would be difficult for traditional bicycles to navigate. 

Where can you ride a fatbike?

Fatbikes are versatile and can be ridden on various terrains, but when it comes to winter riding, groomed trails are particularly well-suited for these bikes. Winter groomed trails, such as snow-packed dedicated fatbike trails, provide an ideal surface for fatbiking. These trails are often maintained and groomed specifically for fatbikes, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable riding experience. Whether you're exploring snowy forests, cruising along frozen lakes, or navigating through winter parks, fatbikes are a fantastic choice for riding on groomed winter trails. So grab your fatbike and head to your nearest winter trail network to experience the joy of gliding through the winter wonderland with ease and excitement.

26'' fatbike wheels or 27.5'', which is better?

The choice between a 26'' or 27.5'' fatbike depends on personal preferences and terrain. A 26'' wheel offers maneuverability and a lower standover height, while a 27.5'' wheel provides better rollover capability and traction. Consider your riding style and test ride both sizes to determine which suits you best.

Studded tires on unstudded tires, which is better?

Studded and unstudded fat bike tires each have their advantages depending on the conditions you'll be riding in. Studded fat bike tires are equipped with metal studs, providing enhanced traction on icy surfaces, making them ideal for winter riding on icy trails or frozen lakes. Unstudded fat bike tires, on the other hand, offer lower rolling resistance and a smoother ride on packed snow or groomed trails. Choose studded tires for icy conditions and unstudded tires for general winter riding. 45NRTH makes some of the best studded and unstudded tires for fat bikes.
