The big tires are basically like snowshoes. With a normal mountain bike you can’t really ride in snow except on hard compacted trails, but with fat tires you can - up to a point. They help on mud and sand too, but honestly they’re more of a hindrance than an advantage the rest of the year.
Still, it makes riding feel like driving a monster truck. You can go pretty much anywhere and you have infinite grip.
Is offloading what those fat tyres are for? I’ve never managed to ask anyone.

I thought they were for sand, but I am a noted moron.
