Mongoose Dolomite Fat Tire Mountain Bike, 26-Inch Wheels

Why we love it?

Conquer any off-road trail with ease with this steel-framed mountain bike with supersized all-terrain knobby tires. A Shimano rear derailleur with seven speeds makes hills easier to climb, while twist Shifters make it smooth and easy to change gears while riding.

Some comments about this we saw on the web:

* /u/woody121 on /r/BurningMan I used a Mongoose Dolomite 7 speed fat tire bike this year and it was excellent. Sand dunes that made all my other friends suddenly spin were no challenge at all. The big mass of the bike makes effectively no difference when you never go up or down hills! Others would regularly complain for me to go slower, and some of them were yoga/runner types, who were just working a lot harder than me in order to maintain the same speed.

I would say that the gear shifting is probably not needed, if I were to do it again I would probably do a fixed gear bike - I very rarely was shifting, and its just another thing to deal with maintaining.

I took the Hitch (slightly newer model of the same thing) out last year, and loved it. Both it and the Dolomite are 7-speed.

There are a whole heap of commonly-applied upgrades to these bikes that you can find here: http://forums.mtbr.com/fat-bikes/dolo-semi-wild-mongoose-dolomite-902410.html
