Fat-bike News You Can Use
Greetings from the Fat-bike.com News Room! It is Friday, June 27th. Here is what’s up in fat-bike news this week!
Summer Fatbiking: The Quiet Season That Shouldn’t Be
It’s been a relatively quiet week in fatbike news – and that’s actually worth talking about. Summer represents the fatbike industry’s slowest period, sandwiched between new model announcements and fall’s pre-winter buying frenzy. But this “quiet season” offers some of the best opportunities for actual riding. Beaches abound! Our Bikes, Boats and Goats tour is coming so we will have some stories ourselves! Where have you been riding now that the temps have climbed?
Remember folks…
Those big 4+ inch tires aren’t just for flotation on snow and sand – they’re confidence builders on loose gravel, chunky rock gardens, and that sketchy downhill section you’ve been avoiding. Perfect for riders who are just getting into the off-road riding scene. We keep a lender fat-bike on hand for just such riders. Do you have more than one fat-bike and could introduce a new rider to the fat-biking experience?
I like the look of the Ari Fatbikes! Ari, formerly Fezzari, make both an Acoustic Model and an Electric with a Shimano EP6 motor. Some models are on sale at https://aribikes.com/collections/fat-tire

Good stuff! You will be able to find them at REI too which means you should be able to get it serviced there. Pretty standard fat-bike fare and your local bike shop can handle it too!
- We do love the Schwalbe Jumbo Jim! One of the best available fat-bike tires for a variety of conditions. If you buy it from this link we will get a small commission and you won’t pay any extra! It is like supporting the site for free!
