Fat tire bikes provide improved grip and traction on the most troublesome terrain, that's why fat tires make a good impression even when the ground is covered in sand/gravel or even snow. Fat tires are suitable for riding on the mellowest sandy beaches, something that regular MTBs cannot provide. They are definitely a great investment if you are someone who loves carrying their bike for all their road trips. The riding experience that fat tire bikes provide on various terrains is just unbeatable.
