Fat bikes are specially designed bicycles with oversized tires, typically 3.8 inches or wider. These wide tires provide better traction and stability, making them ideal for riding on soft surfaces like sand, snow, and mud. The larger contact area allows for lower tire pressure, which enhances comfort and control on uneven terrain. Originally developed for winter riding, fat bikes have gained popularity for year-round use. They can be equipped with various features, such as disc brakes and lightweight frames, to improve performance. Many cyclists enjoy fat biking for its versatility and the unique experience it offers in diverse environments.
