Hey Fat-bike Friends,

Thanks to everyone who checked out the first edition of the Fat-bike.com Holiday Gift Guide — the response has been awesome!

I just pushed an update and added five new items from brands we ride, trust, and use ourselves. This batch includes a mix of winter essentials, under-$50 picks, and one or two upgrades that will make your fatty feel new again.

What’s New in the Guide

Here’s a quick peek at a few of the newest additions:

• Old Man Mountain — Divide Fat Rack

I loaded mine down several times. Rock Solid! Front or rear, and clearances for up to 26×5.0 / 27.5×4.6. Optional Fit Kits bump capacity to 70 lb for winter groceries or bikepacking.

• Club Ride — “Fat Jack” Softshell Pants

On sale makes these winter pants even better! Plus, you won’t feel like a dork when you walk into the local tavern for a beer.

• PNW Components — Rainier Dropper (27.2) + Loam Lever

A dropper on a fat-bike? Why! Well, when the snow is deep and you are struggling to get on you’ll know! OR, how about when the ice is so slippery you can’t walk on it? Drop that post get your CG low and roll on!
