...the Rungu Juggernaut is here.





Juggernaut’s long wheel base design and three fat (4.8?) tires improve float on sand and snow over fat bikes by 50%.

The 26” fat tire front wheels with over 29” in projected diameter overcome obstacles up to 6” tall at crawl speed.

Standard Features

•Aluminum frame with extended wheelbase for better weight distribution
•Three wheels – two wheels in front for stability
•Low gearing for difficult terrain
•Mounting points for e-bike kits and overhead racks
•Fat rear tire in back for traction and control in sand and snow
•Shoulder width front-wheel spacing to improve tricycle handling
•Hydraulic rear brake for dependable braking regardless weather or temperature
•Dual front brakes improve brake force up to double a standard bike
•100 mm bottom bracket and crankset provides chain clearance around 4.8? tires

I would have thought you would be better off with a standard tricycle format as more of your weight is on the rear. If you could also add IRS that would be pretty cool......and very heavy.

Pre-failed top tube design as well, why would anyone put a kinked and welded joint into a tube under compression?

If fat bikes are anything to go by, there will be loads of them on the trails of Northern England by next year, because they are just so well-suited to them...

Am I being daft, or would this thing have the turning circle of an oil tanker? And I presume you can't lean it over without one front wheel coming off the ground. So it's a good bike for Eskimos and desert nomads who only want to go in straight lines, slowly. I'll take two.

Pretty sure there is, a feint white line between the two handle bars and those red bits look like some kind of track rod thingy.

Utterly pointless, I'd like one please.
