KHS introduced their 2015 line of fat bikes at Eurobike. KHS calls their family of fat bikes the 4 season, which is sort of cool, considering how Sven and I have preached the gospel of year round fat-bike fun, forever! We even had that conversation with, Wen Hsieh, President of KHS, at interbike a few years ago, when they first showed their fat-bike prototype. Check it out!
