Australia’s favourite Iron Man, Guy Leech, launches TRIX All Terrain Cycles with fat tyre bikes for snow conditions at home and abroad.
Spend time skiing or snowboarding overseas this current northern winter and you’ll no doubt see some fat tyre bikes hitting the snow laden roads, mountain trails and beyond. Most ski resorts now offer fat tyre biking tours and rentals so you can experience what makes hitting the powder on two wheels so much fun.
Australian fitness pro, Guy Leech, knows first hand the joy of uber fat tyres on road, sand, snow, dirt, mud and grass. So much so he’s launched his own brand of fat bike down under, TRIX Bikes.
“Whether you’re a first time rider or a thrill-seeking pro, TRIX will make you fall in love with biking all over again,” said TRIX co-founder, Ironman legend, and all-round fitness pro, Guy Leech. “It’s unlike any bike you’ve ever seen and it’s a great gift for people looking for a fun, social or family-friendly way to stay active.”
TRIX bikes feature alloy construction, 7-speed Shimano gears, and specialized tyres and are available in three sizes (starting from $599 RRP) and a range of eye-popping colours. They are built to meet strict Australian Product Safety standards and are available online in three sizes to accommodate a range of heights and weights: Chunky 26”, Chunky 24”, and Chunky 20.”
Thanks to Shimano’s 7-speed gears you’ll switch seamlessly and quickly between disparate conditions. The bikes are specially designed for low ground pressure, meaning they make it easy to ride on soft and unstable terrain – snow included.
TRIX have equipped their bikes with disc brakes that minimise friction between the wheel and the brake, so they are ready to handle whatever the terrain throws at you. Arm yourself with a tyre pump and pressure gauge, and you’re ready to speed through any part of the bush on dry ground, mud or snow.
If you can’t wait till winter to get your fat tyre fix then hit the beach with TRIX’s super sized tread.
