What are the disadvantages of a fat bike?

  1. 1. No limits There is possibly no limit to the kind of terrain that you cannot hit with the fat bike. Be it on-road or off-road. Built with the sole purpose of riding on snow and sand, people are having so much fun using it as a mountain bike with some even having completed tri-athlons with the fat bike. Fat bike might just be the bike for treading the post-apocalyptic world.
  2. 2. No Storm can stop you: Come rain, come hail, come shine you know you can handle it all when you’re on a fat bike. Fat bikes give you the liberty to ride in any weather and to tell you the truth, the stormier the weather the better the feel to ride it.
  3. 3. Calorify Riding a fat bike does require more effort to ride than a regular MTB and much more effort than a road bike. The wider contact patch does provides immense traction but it also take away some agility and offers more rolling resistance. Intake of good amounts of calories is necessary to long journeys before you jump on the saddle
  4. 4.
