Roll over all sorts of difficult terrain with ease on the Argus Sport fat tire bike by Mongoose. And the Argus’ Tectonic T2 aluminum frame makes it lighter and stiffer than ever. Fat bikes are easier to find and more affordable than ever before. The fat bike market has exploded in recent years.
The bike has a clean, modern look thanks to internal cable routing and a short 40mm stem with medium-wide, 720mm bars. The geometry is fairly modern for a department store bike, with a 66.5° head tube angle and a 75° seat tube angle. We started Rascal Rides when Parker was born and we didn’t want to give up our passion for biking. Over the years, we’ve tested hundreds of kids bikes, helmets, bike trailers, and more.
Luckily, we have tow mongoose dirt bike ropes to mitigate the complaints. My son has grown to like down hill riding better than cross country. When we climb he lets the complaining come flying out. Mongoose utilizes house branded parts to cover contact points like the grips, pedals and seat.
They do really well on dirt but they are also very capable in the snow. Packed snow will feel very much like riding on dirt. Pushing through heaps of freshly fallen snow will provide more of a challenge and there will be some days when riding is simply impossible. However, fat bikes make it so riders don’t have to omit a season from their calendar. Embrace the thrill of outdoor cycling with the Mongoose fat tire bike. Built to weather different terrains, it promises an exciting and safe ride.
Now’s your chance to save on a new pair of wheels! Get up to 50% off mountain bikes, cruisers, and more while supplies last. I took the Mongoose Switchback Expert on a few test rides on moderate but not aggressive trails at a reasonable speed. Smooth trails are a better choice than rough ones, especially when it comes to rocks and roots. The coil fork isn’t all that responsive, and unlike a fork with an air spring you can’t adjust it to customize the feel for your weight and riding style. I found I needed to keep my speed in check to keep the front wheel tracking and in control.
