In order to have more than just any fat bike, the Koblenz-based company has opted uncompromisingly for carbon fibre for its Pummelchen. A clear statement on the positioning of the bike and the fact that less weight simply means more riding fun. As the only bike under 13 kilos and by far the lightest wheels in the comparison, the Dude with its short chainstays is surprisingly agile and light-footed. Thanks to the Schwalbe Jumbo Jim tyres, the bike also rolls pleasantly smoothly. The short stem gives you a relaxed all-mountain position. Despite the short development time, the beautiful frame details and clean workmanship are impressive. Thanks to variable dropouts, the rear triangle also offers space for 4.8-inch tyres. A steering angle limiter is designed to prevent damage to the frame in the event of a fall.
ConclusionTogether with Borealis, the Canyon stands out from the group of fat bikes. Light, agile and equipped with many well thought-out details.
