Fatbikes
Fatbikes float where everything else sinks. Those enormous four and five inch tires turn snow, sand, and bottomless mud into rideable terrain, which makes them the secret weapon of winter bikepacking and year-round backcountry exploring. They look absurd until the first time you ride one across a frozen lake or a beach at low tide, and then they make perfect sense. It is a small, devoted corner of cycling, and the bikes are built tough for the conditions they tackle. These are our reviews and spotlights of the fatbikes worth braving the cold for, with a filter to sort by frame material and wheel size.
