Here at Mountain Bikes Lab we fully recommend the Mongoose Juneau Fat Tire bike and consider it to be one of the absolute best fat tire bikes currently on the market. Salsa’s Mukluk Deore is an aluminum-framed fat bike with a carbon fork perfect for bikepacking, plowing through snow, and cutting through mud. It’s also a straightforward ride for those looking to buy a well-rounded, reliable bike. It has an 11-speed Shimano Deore drivetrain, 26×4.6-inch fat tires, and SRAM Level brakes. The frame also has two bottle mounts and is compatible with a rack and accessories, perfect for beginner bikepackers hauling through the trail.
The Mongoose Fat Bike is built to last – it’s made with high-quality materials and components, so you can be sure it will stand up to the rigors of off-road riding. I knew that I couldn’t expect much for $212 and free shipping. I didn’t bother to read reviews and wasn’t ready to spend a lot more, not knowing if I would even like riding one.
With a steel-frame base and extra wide wheels and tires, this bike’s pretty easy to learn on and can handle multiple terrain types, such as sand and snow. Like the previous Mongoose fat bikes, the knobby supersized (26 inches by 4.25 inch wide) tires of this bike make it possible to ride on virtually any terrain. The bike’s 20-inch by 4.25 inch wide tires are appropriately grippy for superior traction and stability on dirt, grass, sand, or snowy terrain.
The 20-inch wheels version of the bike fits riders from ages 6 to 7, from 4 to 5 feet tall. The 16-inch is for kids ages 3 to 5, and the 20-inch is for kids ages 6 to 8. I kid though, because Mongoose really does give you the best deals on fat bikes by far.
The Argus fat tire mountain bike by Mongoose is one of Mongoose bikes’ most decent creations, in our opinion. The off-road capabilities of fat tire bikes are endless, and Kong is one of the best ways mongoose kids bikes for younger riders to experience it. Top that up with mechanical disc brakes that lend stopping power with precision and comfortable beach cruiser pedals, then peddling up hills couldn’t be easier.
