A select few will also use them as sand bikes, too—the qualities that man a good snow mountain bike also make for a good sand bike.
What are the advantages of fat tires on a mountain bike?
Grip and the ability to run super low tire pressure. The massive tires plow through snow and keep good traction on ice. But the biggest thing (arguably) is that fat bikes allow the rider to run extremely low tire pressure. That means you’ll have a massive contact point on the ground at all times, so you’re way less l
