If you hadn’t already heard, the Specialized Fatboy has been a popular bike ever since its launch last year, and the interest in fat bikes is growing every year. The big question for riders who already know the allure of fat bikes is: When are they going to make a kids' version?
The following Fatboys are reported to be coming soon, but as of now, delivery and pricing are not published for the US market. Take a look at these great-looking models for the little rippers—we’ll keep you posted as soon as they’re available for order and in ERIK'S locations.
2015 Specialized Fatboy 24
Inspired by the adult version of the Fatboy, the 2015 Specialized Fatboy 24 is built on a fully-butted A1 premium aluminum frame and features a 1×9 drivetrain anchored by a SRAM X4 rear derailleur and a trigger shifter. Designed for kids on the go, the aluminum rims are fat-specific (90mm) 24-inch discs with 32h lacing and Specialized Ground Control 24×4.0 tires. Hub spacing is 170mm in the rear. Stopping power comes by way of a Tektro Aries mechanical disc brake.
2015 Specialized Fatboy 20
The only thing the 2015 Specialized Fatboy 20 skimps on is size. Built on a fully-butted A1 premium aluminum frame and featuring the same 170mm rear hub spacing and the same SRAM X4 1×9 drivetrain, this bike features 20×4.0 Ground Control tires. Young riders should have no problem going where mom and dad go on their full-sized fatties. Like the 24-inch model, the Fatboy 20 is equipped with Tektro Aries mechanical disc brakes. Geometry for both bikes is outlined below.
