The folks at Rocky Mountain Bicycles made this awesome video showcasing what fat bikes are capable of doing in the snow. Fat bikes have made winter fun for us cyclist! No more waiting for the snow to melt, just ride it! Us riders in the north east can train all year round and have hella fun doing it with a fat bike. I need to get one 4sho!!
We have to admit, we were hesitant about the fat bike trend that’s taking the bike industry by storm (pun intended). There were definitely a few raised eyebrows in the office when we started designing and testing one.
Wade Simmons was an instant convert though; “everyone thinks they’re so f@#&ing cool and serious, but it’s really just about having fun on your bike anyway.” And soon enough, the other guys stopped returning their test bikes on time.
FAT FREE came out of a few days of experimenting and shredding the Blizzard in BC’s coastal mountains. It opened all our eyes to the spectacular terrain that’s available for fat biking, and it proved to us that the only limitations for these bikes are our own preconceived notions.
If it was ever even a question, the answer is yes. You can and should freeride a fat bike.
