Shifters on a fat bike, like any other type of bike, are essential to allow the rider to control the drivetrain based on terrain conditions. Here is a description of their function, characteristics and standards specific to fat bikes:
Function :
The gear controls on a fat bike perform the same function as on any other bike: they allow you to change transmission speeds to adjust pedaling effort and speed depending on the terrain and riding conditions. This includes adapting to the steep climbs, fast descents and varied terrain that one may encounter when using a fat bike, especially on loose, soft or snowy surfaces.
Features :
1. Adapted ergonomics:
The gear controls on a fat bike are often designed to be easy to operate even with thick gloves, which is often necessary when riding in cold or wet conditions. They offer ergonomics adapted for easy access and quick and precise gear changes.
2. Weather resistance:
Since fat bikes are often used in harsh conditions, the shifters must be resistant to water, mud, and other elements. The materials used are often chosen for their durability and ability to resist corrosion.
3. Compatibility with wide tires:
Shifters for fat bikes must be compatible with the extremely wide tires used on these bikes. This may mean that the shift levers are longer or have a greater range of adjustment to accommodate tire width.
Standards:
The gear controls on a fat bike can vary depending on the type of transmission used. Fat bikes can be equipped with single, double, or even triple chainring drivetrains in the front, as well as a range of gears in the rear. Major component brands such as Shimano, SRAM and Microshift offer a variety of options to meet the needs of fat bike riders, with shifters compatible with different drivetrain systems and performance levels.
In summary, the gear controls on a fat bike are designed to provide suitable ergonomics, weather resistance and compatibility with the wide tires characteristic of this type of bike. They allow fat bike riders to enjoy precise drivetrain control, whatever the riding conditions.
