A fat tire bike is versatile and can help you ride lots of different types of terrain. Yeah, fat tire bikes are great in the snow—but they’re also fantastic on just about any trail (which means year-round biking is possible, even if you’re not here in Southern California.)

Many people ask if fat bikes ride like mountain bikes, and the answer is, well…sorta! Fat tire bikes previously handled more similar to normal mountain bikes, but newer models have been built to handle much closer to traditional mountain bikes. For all intents and purposes, modern day fat tire bikes are simply mountain bikes with bigger tires.

As with every other bike style, fat tire bike frames come in lots of different materials, such as aluminum, carbon, titanium, bamboo, and steel.

The “fat” in “fat tire bike” obviously comes from the wider tires that provide more traction in both dirt and snow. These bikes climb uphill like no other bike can (except maybe an electric bike). Wider tires equals low pressure—typically under 10psi (traction! floatation!). For even better traction, you can even pick up some studded tires!
