Why Fat Tires on Mountain Bikes Are Worth the Investment
Fat tires on mountain bikes provide greater traction on varied terrain such as snow, sand, rocks, and muddy trails. The wider tires allow for a larger surface area making it easier to pedal uphill with less effort, roll over obstacles such as rocks, and provide better stability. Additionally, the increased cushion from the tires provides a smoother ride and reduces the impact on joints, making it easier on the rider.
