Trade in your cross-country skis for a FatBike

The FAT BIKE is a mountain bike with very wide tires for good grip on difficult terrain, such as the snow, the sand or the mud.Its  frame is specifically designed to accommodate oversized tires (often between 4 and 5 inches wide mounted on rims of 100 millimeters)

. The tires can be inflated to a pressure as low as 340 hPa (5 psi), allowing smooth driving in difficult terrain, but the average pressure used often varies between 550 and 690 hPa (8 and 10 psi)

. The low tire pressure absorbs vibrations and unevenness of the terrain to a certain extent. The majority of fatbikes do not require suspension without altering the level of comfort.
