Overview
A 7-speed fat tire mountain bike from richvelo built around a high-carbon steel frame, front suspension and dual mechanical disc brakes, sized for trail riding, urban commuting or general recreational use.
The frame is steel rather than aluminum, which adds weight but keeps cost down and resists cracking under repeated trail impacts. Shimano supplies the full drivetrain, including the grip shifters, a detail worth noting since cheaper fat tire bikes often pair Shimano derailleurs with a generic shifter. The 4 inch tires are the main selling point, adding float and grip on sand, snow and loose dirt that a standard 2 inch tire would struggle with.
- High-carbon steel frame
- 7-speed Shimano gearing with grip shifters
- Dual mechanical disc brakes
- 4 inch wide tires
Who it's for
Riders who want one bike that can handle both a paved commute and a dirt trail without swapping equipment. Also suits heavier riders, given the steel frame and the one review specifically praising load capacity.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
The one review on record praises the bike's load-bearing capacity, saying it rides without frame wobble even for a heavier rider.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Full Shimano drivetrain including grip shifters, not just derailleurs
- Dual disc brakes front and rear
- Wide 4 inch tires for sand, snow and loose terrain
- Steel frame adds weight versus aluminum fat tire bikes
- Front suspension only, no rear
Performance notes
The 4 inch tires do the heavy lifting on rough or loose surfaces, adding contact area and cushioning that a standard tire can't match, at the cost of some rolling resistance on smooth pavement. Dual mechanical disc brakes front and rear give consistent stopping power regardless of weather, and the Shimano 7 speed grip shifters let riders find a gear quickly without the notchy feel of off-brand shifters.
