A basket on your fatbike: the perfect mix of cool and practical
What is a fatbike?
The fatbike is a bicycle with exceptionally wide tires. These are often two to four times wider than standard bicycle tires. As a result, these tires offer good grip on loose surfaces. Think sand, mud or snow, for example. Fatbikes were originally popular mainly in areas with extreme weather conditions.
In addition, the wide tires absorb shocks effectively. This makes the ride more comfortable, even on rough terrain. This therefore makes the fatbike a perfect choice for adventurers. But also for people who like to cycle comfortably around town.
