No bike should be a gimmick. And that goes for fat bikes, too. That’s why we put in the work to ensure The Blizzard received the trail geometry and ride that makes the rest of our lineup so special. The result is a hyper-capable fatbike that truly feels like a mountain bike when charging snowy singletrack.
It’ll take way more than hell freezing over to stop the Blizzard. With massive tire real-estate and mega clearance, snow’s no issue for the Blizzard. Don’t mistake it for a fat-tired gimmick—aggressive trail geometry and a no-nonsense mountain bike ride character differentiates it from the bandwagoners. The result? Send trail and rip commutes as aggressively and shredly as you want. Winter’s here. Ice to see you.
This one’s obvious but critical—massive tire clearance is the only way to really make a fatbike work. Ultra wide rims and mega 26 x 4.6 tires (with room to go up from there) ensures monster truck levels of rolling confidence and burliness.
Whether you opt for the 30 or 50 carbon frame build option or the 10 or 20 aluminum build, expect huge amounts of versatility and trail bike-like performance. Multiple mounts and contact points for bottles, racks, tools, and anything else comes standard on all Blizzard frames.
