Tight bums, strong upper arms or a six-pack don't fall from the sky. Spartan discipline and stubborn pumping in the gym are the price to pay for a dream figure. A similar dilemma plagues the fatbike community. If you want to enjoy the sheer endless traction of fat tyres in winter on snow and in mud, you pay the price with the chubby tyres with a lot of physical effort on the climbs and sluggish riding fun on undulating trails.
This is because the rotating mass on the wheels needs to be kept going with dedication. This problem still prevents many a biker from getting into fatbike fun. However, unlike the eagerness to train for model dimensions, sweat-inducing uphills can easily be avoided on a fatbike. With a motor.
One of these motorised chubbies is here to prove its suitability for winter. It's a good thing it snowed last night. Now we just need suitable terrain. Fortunately, this is easy to find in the Munich area. After a short car journey (with an anti-cyclical journey!), I'm in a hidden ski resort just outside the city and head towards the mountain station on the Norco Bigfoot.
Has our tester got used to biking in the snow? How does a fatbike ride on a ski slope? Read it now: Norco Bigfoot VLT review with all the facts & lab results! The PDF is available's below in the download area.
