Tell me about fat bikes

Seems like it would feel like riding through molasses with all that rubber underneath you. What kind of pressure do these run at?

you really cant tell that much with the weight due to gears. It does help with momentum and the ride is softer

Nice starter bike.
I would add an LED bar, 6" lift kit and suspension upgrades, maybe some Fuel rims. Going to need an all-weather audio system as well. The seat? Well that has to go for sure.

Ride isn't going to be softer with that hard tail if you're doing any kind of trail rides, unless the trails are pavement.

Okay if you want something to ride over sand/gravel. Can probably find some that come with a free cell phone belt holster if you shop around.

Surly ECR with 3.5" tires. Can ride as low as 10psi but really don't ever need to take them below 20psi.
Go at 30psi and you'll handle anything and be comfortable doing it.
Also, get a tubeless set up. Way better. Way way way better.

It's a gimmick bike unless you do ALOT of snow,sand,or mud riding.
No suspension means it's not even a great trail bike unless you're slow speeding it.
A very expensive gimmick.

I have a Trek stache. Not a true fatty at only 3.1” tires, but I consider it a fatty. It’s fun. With 3.1” you can literally run over anything. Still sub 30 pounds, but definitely a bitch to climb with. I wanted a hardtail 29er, so why not go fatty. I’m heading to southern Colorado in about 6 weeks for some real snow riding on it. Should be fun.

Is this a joke about fat girls and mopeds?

Snow and sand bike. I have seen tires run as low as 8 psi. They are also good to ride in the spring to build your legs and lungs because even the light ones are HEAVY. I spend most of my MTB time on singletrack in North/South Carolina and oddly enough still prefer a 26" hardtail to anything.

I rode one of the rigid versions and it didn't feel any different than normal tires. I was pretty surprised by that. They've started making full suspension versions but I've yet to test one. I'm thinking about it over the holiday, I think they'll do well on the rocks.

Looks like more cushion for the pushin'.

this looks like something that a middle school "boy band" age Country act would ride a song about his girl riding on the back of his bike and cruising under the stars or some shite

Wider the tire, the smoother the ride

Good for riding in sand or mud... that’s about it.
