The Calibre Dune brings fat bike fun for under £600

This Dune fat bike from Calibre could soon be responsible for a bicycle obesity epidemic in the UK. You see, unlike most bikes of its kind on the market, the Dune is both cheap and light.

Take a look at this bike's competition and you'll fine plenty of lighter and even some cheaper options but none that we've seen can match its 31.9lb (14.46kg) complete weight for the 'worth a punt' price of £579.99 (with a Go Outdoors discount card – £5 p/a).

Yep, thanks to several clever spec choices and an alloy frame and fork, the Dune tips the scales at the same as or even better than some regular hardtails at this price. Most fat bikes are designed primarily for use on snow or sand and have geometry to reflect this, not so for the Dune, which was designed specifically to tackle regular UK trails. Should the white stuff arrive or you fancy a beach raid then it should work just fine, though.

Plenty of room for UK mud, despite the mammoth 4in treads
