fatbike
Wide-tire terrain bicycle
A fatbike is a bicycle with oversized tires—typically four inches or wider—designed for riding on soft, unstable surfaces like snow, sand, or mud.
The extra-wide tires run at low pressure, distributing weight to prevent sinking: We rented fatbikes to explore the winter trails.
Also written as two words: fat bike.
