Fat Trikes

With this in mind we set out to design a Fat Trike that would meet certain criteria:

Affordable:  Again - this is not likely to be your only trike, its likely to take more of a beating than your other trike, its going to be ridden in mud, snow, sand etc,  so you don’t want to invest a fortune in it.

Foldable:  Since the premise is that it will be potentially sharing space in your garage with your rides, and the fact that fat tire trikes are just BIG- it would be nice if it took up a little less space.

Unsuspended vs Suspended There are 2 schools of thought on this obviously, and of the fat tire trikes in production now, ICE & Sun, use suspension, Azub doesn't, and Trident has both.  First they are fat tires! You are running these at approximately 10PSI- this for average riding conditions gives you all the suspension you need. 
But for bumpy off-road conditions, or snow covered trails full of frozen foot prints, suspension is something to consider.

 

Fun: Fat Tire Trikes are great fun to ride, but if you have ridden all the brands- you will definitely realize some steer and ride way better than others. Great handling and comfort is a must

I am  pleased to introduce the FOLDABLE Terrain 20 and Terrain 26 fat tire trikes.

The Terrain models are available in either a 3 x 20” Wheel or a 3x 26” wheel model. Terrain models feature a powder coated , foldable Chro moly frame. Terrain models will come equipped with Trident's signature mesh seat with 4 adjustable angles and 3 height positions. X-Seam ranges have also been increased – the Terrain will accommodate riders with X-Seams from 34 ¼” to 47 ¼” (900mm-1200mm ). We can also accommodate even larger X-Seams with an XL boom. Rounding out the features are Avid BB5 disc brakes with locking parking brake Levers and a 7 speed Shimano drivetrain with a twist shifter.

A 21 speed upgrade kit is also available. It consists of an 22/32/42 triple crankset, a wider bottom bracket, a Microshift front derailleur, a SRAM 3 speed gripshifter,  and cabling with cable housing.

Rear racks and fenders are also available for both Terrain 20 and 26. Racks sell for about $75.00, fenders go for $185.

My thoughts:   The 20" & 26" are priced very close to one another. One consideration is 20" fat tire manufacturers are more limited whereas many 26" fat tires are  available. This affords greater availability and selection not only for replacement but for varying terrain. (IE studded tires for winter)
