The Mongoose Malus 26-inch fat tire bike has arrived to save you from the doldrums and put a smile on the faces of all those you pass by. Built with 4-inch tires (earning the name fat) on a supersized beach cruiser frame and there is plenty of clearance to make it rideable on virtually any terrain. Plus, the Malus has 7-speed twist shifters and front and rear disc brakes so it still has its vein of practicality. Fat tires are all the rage and the Malus is a great bike to add to your stable, and to get out there and have a little fun on. There is nothing you can’t do on a Mongoose and almost nowhere you can’t go on the Malus. Among the range, models like the mongoose malus fat tire bike and the mongoose argus sport stand out for their unique features and customization options.
When it comes to construction, the mongoose fat tire bicycle is typically fashioned from resilient materials such as aluminum, aluminum alloy, and steel. These materials ensure a sturdy build that can withstand the demands of off-road cycling. The design of the mongoose fat wheel bike incorporates wide tires that provide a larger surface area, enhancing grip and control on slippery or uneven surfaces.

Wow, did you see what that guy is riding? Watch as he glides over sand, dirt and snow. See the glee he has as he bounces over embankments and boings over rocks.
The fat tires drew a lot of attention. Very few bike companies build 24-inch fat bikes. I don’t know of many that go smaller from there either. It could be swapped for a shorter stem to add some downhill stability. Really, this frame is most likely a back up bike for a family of enthusiasts that want their child to join the fat biking they do in the winter.
This bike comes with the same features as the other Mongoose models, only this one is made for kids (ages six and up) as well as adults. With a steel-frame base and extra wide wheels and tires, this bike’s pretty easy to learn on and can handle multiple terrain types, such as sand and snow. The rigid frame works well for snow and sand riding but loses ability mongoose bicycle in comparison to a suspended mountain bike. The Argus just so happens to be capable enough for trail riding too. Based on how many miles riders get out of this one, it seems to be a very durable pick. It’s made with a steel frame, a four-inch-wide bike-wheel size, aluminum crank arms, and front and back brakes for optimal riding in anything from sand to snow.
Taking the Argus out was a different experience than the norm and we both had fun. Mongoose has given the “go-ahead” to do a long term review to assess the handling and function of the Argus once winter comes. So if you’re curious about how the bike performs in the snow, stay tuned….. The stock seat was very narrow and hard. That is the seat I bought to replace the stock torture device. The new seat is about 13.5″ inches wide and the horn is a lot shorter. It is a lot more comfortable.
They are not hydraulic and even I could feel that when testing myself. The job is getting done but there is more arm pump and fatigue mongoose bicycle when wrestling more weight with a lower grade brake system. One of the main components of any bike is the drive train.
