More details about fatbiking

Fatbike has won a lot of hearts during the last couple of years for a handful of good reasons. First of all, fatbike makes arguably the best allrounder-bicycle ever. It serves the rider loyally all year through, may it be about sandy or rocky summer trails or snowy winter tracks. Due to it’s chubby appearance one could assume it is heavy to pedal and clumsy to handle but the truth is the other way around. This fat buddy is agile and runs effortlessly on its wide tyres, that offer a lot of grip also on any surface, making the riding both fun and safe.

Should you appreciate a lesser effort on a guided tour through the ancient forest and over the fells of Lapland, your choice will be an e-fatbike. E-fatbike comes with an electric pedaling assistant, which flattens the uphills in a very smooth manner. The rider can choose the level of assistance required and the rest is just like riding a conventional bicycle.

It is important that a fatbike comes in suitable size regarding to the riders hight and possible preferences. Our fatbike and e-fatbike fleets comes with a good variety of frame sizes, from XS to XL. On a conventional fatbikes everyone between height of 145 cm to 210 cm can expect to find a fitting ride. In the case of an e-fatbike the numbers range from 155 cm to 200 cm, roughly. We use only high standard of cycling helmets to keep it safe. Shoes are a very straight forward issue: Any pair footwear suitable for a proper walk will work well on fatbike pedals, too. Please choose the clothing suitable for the season and weather. If in doubt, please email us at info@blissadventure.fi or give us a call +358 40 5302 2206.

Our fatbike fleet consists of bicycles of premium manufacturers like Kona and Mondraker. The smallest size bikes are by White, a manufacturer known for the good value.

Bliss Adventure’s summer 2021 fatbike services are available in Finnish Lapland in two destinations, Pyhä and Luosto. They are located a mere 20 minute car drive apart from each other and often considered as single destination. The fact that are both within the mesmerising Pyhä–Luosto National Park, the oldest in Finland, and connected also by a mountain bike route only emphasises this.

Pyhä–Luosto is located a 1,5 hour car drive from Rovaniemi, the closest international airport (RVN). The comfortable bus ride takes 2 hours. You may find the summer bus timetable here.
