THE TERRAIN

Traction Where Other Bikes Slip

The defining feature is the 4.0" tire platform: these fat tires increase traction across snow, sticky mud and loose sand, letting you stay mobile where narrower tires struggle.

THE BIKE

A Mountain Bike Rebuilt for Wider Conditions

These rentals take the engineering of a solid mountain bike and add a fat-tire footprint so you can explore Truckee’s forests and mountain tracks with added stability and float.

THE PRACTICALS

Seven Days to Cover More Ground

The rental package is offered on a seven-day basis, giving riders an entire week to sample trails and terrain around Truckee.

What the day feels like

What a Week on a Fat Tire Feels Like

A seven-day fat-tire rental turns short outings into a sustained exploration: pick up a bike sized to fit you and use the wider tires to probe forest singletrack, transitional mountain slopes and softer ground that would stop a conventional rig.
