Fat Bikes

Why a Fat Bike?
With their oversized tires and impressive traction, these bicycles can be ridden virtually anywhere, expanding both your biking horizons and biking season. And, they are an eye-catching showstopper!

The fat bike typically has 4” wide or larger tires, compared to mountain bike tires that are about 2”, to ride over unstable terrain such as sand and snow. The wide tires are inflated to much lower pressures to provide increased traction and to smooth the ride over rocks and other obstacles. The squishier tires make for a generally more comfortable ride.
More riders are taking to the bigger tires for more than just the snow, and using them for every day riding.
So whether you are riding on snow, mud, sand or even ice, these bikes provide incredible traction. And, they are more responsive and fun to ride than you may think.
How to Choose a Fat Bike
Recent design advances have expanded the bikes’ appeal. Current offerings ride more like traditional bikes and have improved in other subtle but important ways. Single-ring drivetrains ­offer a wide range of gears without requiring a front derailleur, which can clog with snow and ice. Changes­ in frame geometry have made the bikes more maneuverable and easier to steer.

The first step in choosing your fat bike is to consider how, when and where you plan to ride. Will it be for seasonal use, exploring previously inaccessible trails, commuting or general recreational use?

There is an evolving generation of fat bikes, with many designs being offered. We’d welcome the opportunity to discuss your needs and to acquaint you with all the available options, whether they are bikes we carry or not.

More about Ice Cream Truck

Ice Cream Truck   From log and root covered ribbons of twisty singletrack to miles of powdery snow or sandy beaches, Ice Cream Truck can handle it all. Hell, you could probably even hop over a grizzly if the situation arises. Probably. While we could certainly throw out terms like “confidence-inspiring” and “traction-laden” to describe Ice Cream Truck, those phrases are mostly bullshit, so we’re not going to do that. We’re not here to inspire you, and we didn’t laden it with anything. What we did do was design a monolith of a trail bike that doesn’t give two shits about what’s in front of it.
More about Wednesday

Wednesday sits in the middle of our Trail category, but don’t let that fool you into thinking that’s its only use. With Wednesday, we borrowed elements from some of our Trail and Touring models to create a versatile fat tire trail bike that can truly handle anything you want to attempt.  If you do an equal amount of off-road touring as you do hitting trails, Wednesday’s ability to play both parts equally will suit you well. Or, if you’re looking for a fat bike and don’t need the fattest tires on the market, Wednesday’s 26 x 4.6” tire clearance is just the ticket.
More about ECR

ECR  Sometimes the only way to break the humdrum of life is with a bike ride off the beaten path. Sometimes just for a quick overnighter, sometimes a month and half fully-loaded through nine countries. ECR is our answer to those sometimes.


As our flagship bikepacking rig, ECR is adaptable to frame bags for the minimalist approach, as well as racks and bags to maximize gear-hauling potential. ECR is most at home when your tour starts on dirt and gets more technical from there.
