It could be swapped for a shorter stem to add some downhill stability. Moreover, the fat tires kind of drag in the dirt, a shorter stem could slow down the steering too much, so maybe we will try it out and test for the long-term review. Most mountain bike steerer tubes are designed for tapered headtubes. If the diameter is 44mm then Cane Creek does make a headset to adapt a tapered fork to the headtube.
The handlebars are also a special aerodynamic design that allows you to crouch forward while riding, to minimize the wind resistance against your body. Triathlon/time trial races usually have staggered starts, where each racer starts on his/her own; these bicycles are usually not allowed to be used in mass-start races. The wheels offer stability and control even when maneuvering through tricky paths. After a few rides to adjust to cycling on this bike, you will find it more comfortable than other mountain bikes for your outdoor biking.
The ideal age range for this bike is anywhere from seven to ten years old. The geometry of the bike is built for slightly older riders, and some simple adjustments over time can ensure that this bike can grow with its rider for several years. The weight of the bike is nearly 34 pounds (15.04 kg) and it shows. That is almost as heavy as MY full suspension fat bike. The drive train is setup for either snow or sand riding and my son seemed to ride comfortably.
They have smooth, skinny tires and “drop” handlebars, and can be used for on-road racing. They are usually lighter than other types of bicycles. They can be ridden on paved trails, but most people find them uncomfortable and unstable on unpaved trails. Most road bikes are not capable of carrying heavy loads, so are not very suitable for commuting or touring. Cruiser Bicycles are similar to hybrid bikes, in that they are designed for casual riding, and have a very comfortable, upright riding position, and a large, comfortable seat.
My son moved downhill pretty quick, but not as rapidly as on his Trailcraft. He managed to get through the rocky, technical sections of our local test run and did have a smile on his mongoose bicycle face. It is still a rigid bike and that shows in the speeds and ability to descend. They slowed my son’s riding down when needed but functioned as any mechanical brake set would.
In the end, bikes are fun and if you are a fat biking family then I would highly recommend picking up an Argus to get your budding pre-teen out there with you having snowy adventures. The Argus just so happens to be capable enough for trail riding too. This 18-inch fat tire mountain bike is available in different colors like navy blue, light blue, and red to match your gear. With 7-speeds on this mountain bike, you can go racing off-road with your friends and family whenever you want to.
