Here’s a new Fat-Bike Question of the Week. Each week we’ll keep the conversation rolling with a fresh question.
What’s the longest ride or tour you’ve done on a fat-bike?
Fat-bikes may look slow, but they can go the distance. From 20-mile beach rides to multi-day expeditions, what’s the farthest you’ve ridden your fat-bike?
That’s this week’s Fat-Bike Question of the Week! Got a story, a photo, or a hot take? Toss it in the comments—we’d love to hear it. And keep your eyes peeled… a fresh question rolls out every week!
I raced one once in a 24 hour race.
A 485km bike packing trip. I had to keep pace with my friends and they were riding gravel bikes with much skinnier tires. I think because the terrain was so rugged that the fatty was the best bike to ride.
I did the HT560 in Scotland, in 2015 on the Icecream Truck. The weather was horrible and the trails saturated after a very wet winter and early spring so it made sense…kind of… Longest day 106 miles…
I built my first fattie this January with the intention of riding and racing it exclusively in endurance events this year. I’ve trained and raced lots of 100’s and longer and it has been a revelation in fun 🤩

I did a 100k challenge that was held by our local kid’s mountain bike team on our local trail.
I’ve done a 24 hour race on my Mukluk and I did a 150km back country gravel race on my Mutz.
