Christini All Wheel Drive (AWD) mountain bikes feature a unique mechanical, gear-driven system that transfers power to the front wheel when the rear slips, providing automatic, active traction control. These bikes, including fat and e-bike models, enhance climbing, cornering, and stability on loose, wet, or steep terrain as well as unmatched downhill cornering and control. Key Features and Performance Active Traction Control: The system works similarly to an AWD car, engaging instantly to pull the rider over obstacles and reducing rear-wheel spin. Mechanical Efficiency: A series of drive shafts and gears, often driven by a Bafang Ultra Drive motor, power the front wheel, with the system able to be disengaged. Model Lineup: Models include the AWD FAT E-4 i ($6,295), FAT E-5 i ($6,795), and standard fat bikes like the FAT 5 GX ($4,595). E-Bike Power: Christini e-bikes often feature 1000W-1500W motors, providing significant torque for climbing steep inclines. Terrain Adaptability: Designed for superior performance in snow, sand, and mud, the bikes are described as having a "monster truck" feel. Design and Availability Technology Origin: Developed by Steve Christini, the technology has been refined over 20 years, stemming from helicopter tail rotor technology. Construction: Frames are fabricated in Philadelphia, PA with 6061 T6 aluminum, with the AWD components integrated into the frame. Availability: Christini AWD Bicycles are available directly from the manufacturer, with options for international shipping.
