- We know that Fat Bikes are fast. We've seen Blake Samson do incredible MTB tricks on a fat bike. They're comfortable, grippy, lightweight and can do pretty much anything any other mountain bike can do. But are they cool?

"Do you think people would judge you for riding a fat bike?" - "Ye, and they can all piss off!"
Hell yeah brother 🙏🏻
well said, they can judge me all they want ... couldn't give a shit
Got a fat bike on the way. Anyone can judge all they like followed by getting stuffed. They’re the equivalent of the old Land Rover Defender 😎
Here in Alaska, everyone’s second vehicle is a fat bike lol
thought it was a snow mobile...
Better & Better that’s true too, maybe third then. We call them snowmachines though
Snow machine north of the 45th parallel. From a life long Michigan person.
There is no all terrain bike available than F.B. allso i think Fatbike is shitty name. I whould rather call it GRUBBER :D
I dont get it
I love mine, that rumble of the tires when You hit the main road, sounds like a monster truck
Exactly! And people just move out of the way :D
Duude I'm gonna buy one, worth it?
@@qigongkylar944 only if you ride on snow otherwise no its not cool it requires double effort
I have a el fat with full susp.. reccomended. eazbike
sure it sounds like rrrrrrrrrr
At 52 how cool am I gonna look anyway? Think I'll just do what makes me comfortable.
you can look cool no matter your age, height or appearance.
Dress like shrek and everyone will think you re cool
I just bought a specialized fatboy. I'm 39 never been on one. One of tu hecreasons I got it is it will be my bike when I'm older. Catrike looks cool but low to the ground so ... I went fat bike. I have a road bike too.
And its important to have fun!
@@khfjbfjvxjdk manners boi!!
100% fat bike convert. I sold my Whyte T129 6months after buying my fatbike (which Id bought as a 2nd 'winter' bike). I didn't use my full sus once after buying the fattie - it just put a bigger smile on mile face. I've now raced xc, and enduro on it, podium'd and regularly beat my old full sus strava times. They may not be the best at everything, but they certainly aren't the worst. More important to me is that no other bike will keep me smiling as much when I ride it.
The smile factor is very underrated !
Aren't they called fatbike because of that big fat grin it produces on anyone riding one?
I have an Giant ebike, I want to sell it for a fat tire ebike by Juiced bikes. Where can I sell it at, any ideas?
Jon, do you ride in snow or no snow?
What are you riding now?
Being 52, myself, is really cool because I don't give a crap anymore what is cool and what isn't. I appreciate my insight, self confidence, and convictions more than what I drive, wear, own, or call a vacation spot. I have 4 bikes. One is a fat bike. It is a riot. I will never get rid of it.
Everyone else is missing out!!! I'm currently building my 4th fatbike, 2018 Kona Wozo, and I can't ever see myself going back to a skinny tire'd bike. The shear joy these massive tires bring is unparalleled. The end all bike for me is a Foes Mutz. I can't wait until I can afford to build one.
Where do you live? They still haven't caught on im my home area. Im glad you love them though, good luck on your future rides.
I bought my Fatbike year ago driven over 2000 km (1200 miles) so far, no regrets.
@Hayden Holman Yeah they're great for making new friends!
You picked an excellent dude to review the bike, the fact he was as honest as he was, and willing to change his opinion (slightly) shows his character. Good stuff.
Thanks Dude!
I live in Finland and I needed just one bike to ride races and commute. To me fatbike was best choice to cover all my rides.The best bike for snow..
Do you pair it with studded tyres, or ride it as is?
I bought my fattie in Finland and brought it with me when I came back to Oz - still riding it (although with slicks rather than studded CakeEaters)
Sup man? what bike did you get? I am thinking about the Tunturi or a Falcone (those ones in XXL/Intersport) any advice?
@@StaMariaRock XXL's fatbikes like White 8FAT are very popular in Finland. Also Canyon Dude would be great.
Live in Finland 🇫🇮 also, I have a Canyon Dude, great all round, summer and winter 😊
For Minnesota winters there is no better option for snowy single track!
And no, would not replace my trail bike with a fatty. Lucky enough to have both.
Surly rider??? Minnesotan right here too 🚲
Blake's fat bike is lighter than my trail bike. yikes
Light bikes are so expensive.
Late to the party, but my fat bike weighs 52 pounds...so there is that.
Guess it depends where you live. Up here in Canada fat bikes are becoming very prevalent simply because you can use it all year round with all the snow/slush.
Are they "cool"?
In winter time when you're biking past the cross country skiers. Yes
In summer time when you're biking past mountain bikers. No
In spring when the trails are a sloggy mess of ice/slush/mud and you bike past a mountain bike that is stuck. Yes.
I am jealous - I wish we had the snow here in Arkansas that you get. I would ride fattys all the time! Good post, Jonathan.
@mstrbkr You are on crack, mstrbkr.
Has anyone who’s commented actually ridden one in snow??? They are not designed for riding on dirt full stop, here in Canada (Rocky Mountains,BC, we ride them November to April then back onto regular bikes.. you don’t see anyone on these in the summer. Anyone who says that fat tires make no difference in snow how about you fly here and actually take both styles of bike out and then we can watch you eat your words over the beers your buying. I’m not even a fat bike owner, I was a skeptic until I took one out and had the best downhill snowblast.
@mstrbkr right but when the trail is primarily ice, ill take my 4.8" studded tires over anything smaller
Fat bikes are great for snow. Single tracks in the winter, there is no better ride than a fattie.
I just won a fat tire bike in a raffle! I took it out for a quick trail ride, and loved it! Can’t wait to ride all winter.
My Farley 5 is my one and only bike. It does everything for me. I ride Trails, Parks, Jumps, and every day it brings me to work. Sure, I'm not Blake or Neil, but it's the right choice for me. I always have loads of fun with it. Are they cool? Who cares? My legs are not shaved, my bike cloths dont't fit colourwise, so - I don't care. And I give a sh... what all the others say. Period.
Tscho M. I have a trekk Farley 5 too. Got it this year. It’s sooo much fun. I get some laughs from other mountain bikers sometimes and I’m definitely slower but I don’t give a shit.. I’m having fun an getting off the couch for some excercise, that’s the whole point to me.. if people don’t think they’re cool I could care less.
Exactly! Isn’t the point of biking to have fun? Weird thought, I know!
I also have a Farley 5.... and I love it! Never even thought about whether it was cool or not. Just rode it to have fun! And tons of fun it is!
Well I'm 73 and have road and MTBs, just got a used fat tire bike, and it just looks weird! But when I ride it (no suspension, 4" tires) it just seems to be a real kick. It is just fun and I just can get off road shoulders, cross country as in no trails, I just blow through sand and just grind up hills and grades. "Grind" is the operative term and when I hit a rock or three, 8-10 psi in the tires, I really can't seem to feel them.
I have a Salsa, Mukluk alloy frame, not sure the year, say 2012ish? I must say I'm having more fun on it than my Foundry Broadaxe 29er hardtail. But I'm keeping both for sure.
Respect!
How are the bikes holding up now?
@@toot6325 Great! I’m just getting slower!
@@jimjr4432 Ayyye! Keep up the great work man!
I love mine. And YES it's cool as cool can be! Fast and friendly! Don't care what others think about them, but do suprise people when I pass them on the trails riding mine!
I was not expecting to see my University tutor in this video good man Anthony
Small world, eh Mate !
Thanks Josh!
I live in Minnesota and lots of people ride them around here in the winter.
I'm in Wisconsin, most riders I know have a fatty for winter riding. They are fun in summer too. We even have fat bike only races.
I'm getting a fat ebike as well due to um shall we say suspended liscence issues
That fat Bike name plz?
@@sakhibmj6843 Don't know the one you are talking about but Salsa makes a good fat bike.
weekend rider's, now i feel more at home on GMBN.
Great, thanks
I loved this video! It so much more ‘personal’ which makes it enjoyable to watch (not that gmbn vids are boring)
I own a 2018 Trek Farley EX 9.8 Full Squish Fat Bike as well as a Pivot Mach 6 Enduro Style bike and the Trek is my go-to more capable all season bike. Too many riders make wrong assumptions about Fat Bikes in general. Good to see GMBN getting more recognition or them. However doing a video with a FS Fat Bike would be great and offer more exposure. Fat Bikes are very popular here in Canada
You're not using the mach 6 for what it was built for then lol. It's too much bike for you.
I'm also in Canada, Ottawa. I use my rigid fatbike exclusively in winter and early spring, and only on the trails (WAY too much salt on the roads here in winter.) Never use it the rest of the year, prefer my full susp mountain bike.
With the right pressure, riding on pavement is as effortless as almost any thing else.
once, i heard my friends friends friend have a friend that saw a full sus fatbike. (lol i saw it to) and it looks cool, but i wont buy it.
TheWizardofSolazz it’s not too much bike for me Dip Shit.
Ya, got to love the Fat Bike! Good to see ya guys putting people on some bikes to test things out! Great idea. Keep that up for some other bike types!
"Am I mad or is everyone missing out?" Can it be both? ;)
Big fan of the channel!
What's not to like about a bike which can ride along the beach and clamber over any obstacle you throw at it? I tried a fully rigid fat bike in Tathra NSW and I loved it. Rode it down staircases, along the beach, on a lot of the single track in town and even finished up my 4 hour ride in the bowl of the skate park. These bikes are about FUN and about going where no other bike can go..... that's why I've got my name down for a 2019 Canyon Dude 8.0. Can't wait!
It’s funny how almost everything gets distilled into how it “looks” which is also a lot of times determined by how much it costs.
Don't talk yourselves out of it, these bikes are good
Ngi
Bought a Cube Flash'n'red Fatty after my hard tail got nicked a year ago. Much fun, 4.5 inch tyres take me everywhere here in Southern Sweden. Rocks, roots, snow and sand, nothing off limits!!!
Coming from a road bike background and went with a fatty straight away. Best. Choice. Ever.
100% agreed !
I have my FAT Mongoose
Giant Contend Disc Road
Custom Hyper 29 Drop Bar Gravel.
All I need for ANY ride / trail condition !
yeah, same here in NY. Initially, I was put off by them because the first time I saw one it was in a big box retailer, they were the cheap end of the spectrum and so really heavy. the second time I saw one was in a bike shop, and this guy who was obviously a regular came in to use their compressor to change his tire, and he had a real struggle getting it to seal well enough to inflate. He swore by it though, and said he'd never go back to a regular MTB. the third time, I had just gotten done with work, and my coworker and I were getting coffee and this guy rides up on one, so I stopped and talked with hima bit, and he was talking about how light it was and said here pick it up, and I couldn't believe it. I would definitely get one for the winter.
YES, and they have a lot of purpose, riding heavy mud, snow, sand, it will even cross short distances of knee deep water
Thing is your first ride on s Fatty is always a weird experience.
It's takes a few rides to ge5 used to, once your used to the ride and the grip, they are brilliant so much fun.
I live in New England. We have beaches. And mountains. And lots of snow. I mainly use my fat bike up in the mountains. We go to ski, and after, or when wind closes the lifts, you can find me on the snowy trails in the woods. Blasting along with powdery snow kicking up behind you is cool. That’s what a fat bike is for I think....or mud.
The kind of people you meet at trail centers certainly aren't "cool"!
they really aren't.
What!?!?! I thought wearing specialized or Trek from head to toe was the bees knees!?
I mean, if your shitting on a fat tire bile, you aren’t cool. That’s the opposite of cool
@@TheRealFlyingAnt yeah if you're cool you couldn't care less what type or brand of bike someone else is riding.
@@TheRealFlyingAnt Hmmm... I guess if I was shitting in public and it was bile, I wouldn't feel too cool at all. I'd probably go see a doctor. Just sayin'. As for fat bikes, I think they are pretty cool except when I see some guy humming along on one on tarmac. Totally out of their element. Then again, my XC MTB is out of its element on tarmac as well, but I still ride it there once in awhile, just to make me appreciate my gravel bike more. So, judge not; it's all good if you're having fun!
Yes they are :) I just bought a fat bike for winter but after riding it for some time, I really think it will be my first choice when riding on trails. I will probably still keep my HT for gravel but definitely won't need it for trails anymore :)
I have wanted one for a while. Only tried a rigid frame, may give the full sus a go. Looks like huge fun in the park!
The UK may not be the best market for fat bikes, but here in the colonies they are very cool. My wife and I ride full suspension Farley's, and they will do anything Utah has to offer from Park City in northern UT to technical slick rock in southern UT. We also have miles of groomed snow for all winter riding, what is not cool about that?
I’m fortunate enough to own several bikes one of which is a Trek Farley FatBike and I love it. It’s great fun to ride and makes easy work of muddy trails. I find the haters have never ridden a Fatty but they change their tune once they have. My Ibis is still my best all rounder for performance but the fatty is still great fun to ride which is all that matters 👍
Love mine. They're just great fun - a great second bike. I'll ride anything on mine that I can on my Insurgent. The only negative for me is that they're terrible in the gloop. Because they float rather than cut in, they tend to plough on rather than turn which can be a little scary at times. For anyone thinking of getting one, Mastodon forks are night and day better than the ubiquitous Bluto forks.
Love my Manitou Mastodon Pro forks.
Same here. I have some luftkappe equipped Pikes on my Insurgent and the Mastodon pros are every bit as good in terms of small bump sensitivity and mid stroke support. The only negative I can say about them is they show up the lack of rear travel as I can ride harder and faster on them than I ever could on the blutos.
Just pre-ordered the new mastadon pro's, can't wait until I can assemble and ride my new bike
total love for my scott big jon with mastodon and mono 1-11 (30-11/46). big fun in all activities!
Hell yeah dude you need to do some more vid with the fat bike, things fun with all the gmbn team like game of bike in bike park, street, single track and more!
Love the Forest of Dean, my local trails
My aim in life is to meet GMBN at the FOD
awesome vid guys! Keep up the great work!!!!
Living in Michigan, it just make sense for me to own a fat bike. Riding along one of the great lake shorelines or winter riding is some of the best fun I've ever had on a bike, but it just doesn't do it for me on the trails like a more traditional mountain bike does.
Fat bikes are real trail blazers on any terrain. Test rode a Cannondale fat caad 1 and it was fantastic.
I’ve actually had a really positive reaction from people who see my SE Fat ripper around town. (Not that I overly care what others think) Sure they’re not amazingly practical, but fatbikes are seriously good fun. Especially on snow & sand.
I’ve seen those around town
What are the good for in terms of riding
Love my On One Fatty Trail fatbike. The grip from the tyres is awesome, I'll never be the most confident rider but it gives me confidence where my skinny doesn't. Get some fast rolling tyres on it and once your used to it it will take you anywhere in any conditions. Across moor tops, at the beach or at a trail center, great fun!
Hey GMBN, great video as always. I live in Montana, USA where we have snow on the trails at least 5 months of the year. I use my fat bike during that time since even my plus bike can't make it up or down some of the trails. I would highly encourage you to try a fat bike in the snow. Heck, come on over the Montana during the winter and try a fat bike out for where it was designed to be ridden.
7:33 those 2 kids in the back
5:33 *FAT BIKE GOT A MOAN OUT OF MR. YETI LOL*
Jesus Chavez lmao o no
Our trails are primarily rode with fat bikes, even in the summer. They are so fun! You can do pretty much everything that you can do on a non-fat bike.
Donny I love my Farley 9 fattie and love the attention it gets on the trails, especially when riding the big trail centres
I love my fat bike, it always puts a smile on my face when I get out on it, especially on the beaches. More fat bike vids please!
My ride along a MUP to my usual trailhead takes me by 2 high schools, 2 elementary schools, and multiple play areas. So I ride by lots of kids from 3-18 years old and they absolutely think my fat bike is cool. I get so many positive comments from them on my fattie -- probably average 2 per ride. And I once interrupted a drug deal along the path and the kids gave me a "nice bike" and then continued with their transaction. fwiw: I have never received one compliment when I ride my $6K road bike along the same path.
Mike Williams that’s because grandpas and careerpeople are known to ride road bikes. Pretty much any other bike is going to be considered cooler than a road bike. Not that I care since the point of riding isn’t to look cool, it’s about the feeling.
Grandpas and career people ride urban or hybrid bikes. Road bikes are too fast for them.
Yes, I've noticed the attractive chicks really seem to dig the fatties as well.
I love my Canyon Dude, it is the best bike I ever owned. Light, fast and maneuverable!
Bought a Trek Farley 7 one size smaller than my normal size and added a dropper post. With the Mastodon fork the thing is a beast on any type of trail and handles beautifully, and I never lose grip!
i think they’re super cool looking! if i had he money, i’d definitely ride one!
me too
Snow and Sand. They prevail on soft surfaces. My fatbike floats over this stuff 😃
Our winters aren't super crazy here in Central IL, but I'd still love to have one. Fully rigid for sure!
It sounds cooler when riding. You can really hear the tires gripping the asphalt below you. Good video!
The added comfort, the ability to slide the bike with more control and the additional squish factor are the reasons why I bought one (although mine is electric so I can go faster) .
I love how he says that he is the only one with a fat bike and a kid behind him hase one 00:8
That's a plus tire bike. Its basically in the middle of a skinny and fat tire
I love mine!!! It’s the perfect year round bike here in New England!
Nice to see some positivity from GMBN reference fatbikes, they seem to be the only guys with open minds to another type of cycling. We just love fatbikes, in fact we love them so much we have our own brand, Smokestone Bikes. Fatbikes are much like all other brands of bike, some good ones and some not so good, also tyre's and pressures make so much of a difference.
Plus Forest of Dean is where you'll find us a lot of the weekends. Great unbiased video guys.
Thanks for recognizing the Fat bikes! What psi do you recommend for the trails ?
I ride Jumbo Jim 4.8 with 0.5 bar (~7 Psi) with inner tube.
The first guy interviewed with the Vee Tire jersey is my mate, and it's my fully rigid Kona Wo he rode down at Windhill lol... link to video of him riding it below :)
They are definitely a niche bike... I bought mine for a specific purpose (because Northamptonshire turns in to a soggy clay and mud pit in winter). It is slower undoubtedly... however, it keeps going where none of my other bikes can. Being fully rigid, it can be hard work on rough trails though.
Are they cool? Dunno... like most things, perception depends on perspective. For me, it serves a specific function... I will say though it gets a lot of attention as I ride it round my local trails, anywhere in between hysterical laughter and abject terror :)
Video link: czcams.com/video/H63JnCkWDMc/video.html
That dude looks pretty cool, I think he should be a presenter on GMBN
So modest too...
Cool is very subjective, I'm a sucker for all things offroad! It mainly comes down to need I guess
If I had to choose just one bike it would definitely be a fatbike :-) Greetings from Finland!
Become alot more appealing when our trails are snow covered a good part of the year
It's impossible to ride one and not have a shit eating grin on your face. I crave winter here in Minnesota so I can get back on my fat bike in the snow.
Yes.
I love my Pivot 429 Trail for spring, summer, fall riding. But I love my fat bike for the sand dunes, beach rides, snow, and riding in the winter muck since it’s a rigid frame with no suspension to get mucked up.
I’ve got a Salsa Bucksaw and it is amazing on the snow and the dirt. I’ve also got a 27.5+ for it and it completely changed the ride. You wouldn’t believe how many people comment on my. Ike or ask to try it out. Freaking love the ride.
Say hi to Martyn for me
A fat bike will pull away from a full suspension 27.5 bike in snow or silt.
I've ridden a RMB Suzy Q 5" fat bike around my local hills, and they are mega fun, would always add on to my bike collection but never replace a bike with one, currently ride a Intense ACV plus bike which is just as fun, more capable but will likely go semi plus and a 2.6" 29er next!
I’ve got a Caliber Dune fatty and it’s my go to bike now. I just love riding it coz it’s like a tractor with handle bars. Just point it and go! I’ve put Jones 2.5 riser loop bars on mine and they have made a good ride into a bloody fantastic ride. Highly recommend them, people!👍.
As if you've done a video asking this?! Of course they are.
I have no room for another bike and the more I see it the more I want a fatty
I have two and I love them.
TheProjectX3 do it, you’ll be surprised how much you can do on one I sold my trail bike to buy my Farley 9 and would say it was the best decision I have made
Simon Matthews I actually live in area that is pure sand or snow in winter. Fatty on snow still need studded tires I think
TheProjectX3 only if you get hard packed ice my f9 with 3.8 tires coped perfectly fine with the snow we had here in the UK
I have 15
I love my fat bike, don’t think I’ll ever go back to a regular mountain bike ever again! Also love that GMBN does videos on fat bikes
Dunno why regular mountain bike is called mountain bike because Fatty can climb much better especially if you have oval front chain ring.
Well, here in Finland I start to see A LOT of fatbikes, seems like are pretty useful during summer and also to go for a picnic into the woods
Fatbikes Yeah baby!
Saw a fatbike at bracknell forest today. All i can say is; big bike, bigger man ;)
Canyon Dude :))))) I've been looking at that bike ... since I nearly washed out one winter on a muddy mountain trail covered in snow.
i love the wheels paired with the Bafang Mid-Drive kit.
I daily a fat bike
Good video. Finally some good info and not just full "for dummies" -info
I'm tempted to get one, purely as a winter bike when the mud is very bad.
What's not cool is somebody with a 4-8k mountain bike who can't do a drop of 2ft and go around.
There is always someone in this world that looks at you and laughs. You can’t please everyone but you can please yourself, in the dark, alone...
No
Super interested in trying one of these for riding in winter in Canada. If it rolls over snow well could be fun trying to jump snow banks
Hi guys. You really want to know “Are fat bikes cool?” Just ride one on a winter specific fat bike trail, just like the one we have in Quebec, Canada. You will be hooked and you’ll say “Damn, fat bikes are cool”. Keep up the good work.
mgirard700 I can confirm 👍
#NORCO 🤘😂
Yeah 👍👍👍🤪
I live in the western US, in a town where mountain bikes are really popular. I don't see fat bikes out between March and November. But in the winter, we have a bunch of trails groomed for fat bikes, and they're really popular on snow. Even bought one myself just for that purpose. Super fun for that, but don't really ride it in the summer.
I have one and love it very much is very nice and sounds well when ever I hit the road
This guy Anth is a pretty good reviewer. I think he deserves more videos.
I've suddenly gotten really involved in mountain biking, especially in really muddy trails and sandy trails too. I know that the fat bike could ride it all, but I don't know if it would be better to but the Cube Nutrail Race 2019 Fat bike or the Norco fluid 2019 full suspension. Any ideas?
I love them. But I'm probably more of a mid-fat bike fan. I think they're a good balance between a full fat bike and a standard mtn bike (
I love these bikes they give me access to drive them without using my hands very easily!
I bought a trekk Farley fatty this year and my mountain bike has stayed in the shed ever since
Cool? Well, for me they are. I am 6'5 240lbs. My Salsa Mukluk (xl of course) fits quite well with the type of riding I do. No, you won't be as nimble and fast but that's okay for me. That said, the era of bike tech we're in now is simply amazing. Whatever you're on, just have fun.
We NEED to see Neil and Blake on a downhill tandem bike next!
