Through Axles and 4.8 Inch Tire Makes Sand Do-Able
1 year ago
This is my first fat bike and I'm in love with it. I choose the 4.1 based on its componentry and price. I bought this bike on-sale at $1199. I've been a member of the REI Coop since the '90s so I'll be getting a year-end dividend too. At the time I was looking (Memorial Day,) there was no other fat bike, I repeat... no other fat bike available with this level of componentry, service and warranty that could compete with it. I know because I looked, and I looked hard. Luckily, my local REI had a Small 4.1 that I could ride. My inseam is around 29". Normally I buy a size medium in my bikes because I like the extra stretch. Of course, that makes the top bar potentially dangerous, and the 4.1 Small was a little snug but still had some tickle room left. The 4.1 has an excellent set of Shimano hydraulic brakes that stops the 4.1 on a dime and gives change. The Sram 1X12 gear set has performed flawlessly. It has a granny gear I use for the soft stuff and a 12th gear that gets me 15 mph on pavement. My 4.1 weighed in at 37.8 pounds with an add-on aluminum bottle cage. It can be awkward and heavy to load so plan accordingly. I live in Florida so there's plenty of sand here that ordinary mountain bikes can't handle. I took the 4.1 to a beach near St Augustine tried it out. With the granny gear, it handled the soft, dry sand just fine. Wet packed sand was good too. But I just didn't have the legs to power it through unpacked sand on an incline. Still way better performance than my 29'r under like conditions. The 4.1 performed well on pavement too with 17 psig in the tires. The following are things that I might change on the 4.1; Insert metal end caps on the handlebars to protect the grips from ground events, a wider seat for when wearing unpadded shorts and installation of Shrader valves vs the Prestos might make it more pump friendly. Finally, I'm worried about flats and it's been mentioned here before... would tubeless tires and rims make this a better bike? All in all, the 4.1 has expanded my bicycling realm by allowing me to ride where I never could before and for that, I heartily endorse it!

Great Value
4 years ago
Overall, I think this bike is a great value and a solid example for a fat bike. Co-op has done a great job on the build and components and the bike rides very comfortably and performs well. My main gripe is with the paint. It seems to chip VERY easily. And since REI doesn't seem to offer any touch up paint for the Co-op line, I'm concerned about how this bike will hold up over time. I was holding a small allen wrench about an inch or so above the frame as I was adjusting the handlebars. It slipped out of my hand and hit the top of the frame. Not much of a drop or anything. A nice nick of paint came off exposing the aluminum underneath. I lightly touched the nick and more paint flaked off. I took a quick look around the frame and noticed 3 other nicks from I have no idea what. I've had the bike for 2 weeks, got pedals a week ago, and only ridden a couple times around the neighborhood with my daughter to get a feel for it. I just know it's going to get beat to heck with little rocks and things from the tires when I get it on a trail. This to me is a big deal for a bike that costs $1299 and paint should be the least of my worries unless I am careless or hit something. I'm pretty disappointed. I didn't want to blast the bike in a review over just this as it's really cosmetic and doesn't interfere with the operation of the bike. Still, I think others needs to know what to expect. Pics aren't awesome, but you can see what I mean.

Quality CO-OP Fat Bike
3 years ago
Once I saw this was back in production, I knew that I had to have one. I placed an online order and it showed up to my local REI within a week. Honestly I have zero complaints w this bike. Great components and fair price w an alloy frame! I found that the Blackburn fat tire cargo rack works great on this bike. A few more packs and I'll be ready for some bike packing. As always REI is excellent to work with.

Love the bike, but…

This was my first Fat-Tire Bike and I really enjoy riding it, the components are quality and appropriate for the bike. The paint looks good in a flat orange, however the paint not having a clear coat is very soft; any straps or hook and loop used to secure frame bags, feed bags, top tube bags etc will rub the paint through to the aluminum frame quickly. I have had to purchase helicopter tape to cover where I know the paint is being rubbed or will be rubbed by straps etc.

Worth every penny I paid...

I had been looking at this fat tire bike for whst seems like a few years now. When I noticed it was on sale, it was a no brainer for me! I ordered a size large according to the sizing chart and it worked out perfectly! Couldn't be happier with the quality you get for whst you pay, especially the sale price. Our local (Columbia MD) REI had the bike ready to go just a few days after it was ordered. I did upgrade a few things myself but that was my decision and not done due to faulty parts. I also installed some paint protection on some parts of the frame because of reports from others about having issues with the paint. The bike rolls like you're floating on a cloud and I couldn't be happier with it! Many thanks REI

Great fat bike for the price - very satisfied with the fit and geometry and love floating over the soft sandy stuff for a change. One thing I would have loved to see was tires and wheels that are tubeless compatible. The tires have great tread pattern and love the size, but they weren't thick enough to beat the goatheads - three flat tires as a result of my first ride of 23.5 miles. Easy enough to patch, but not really how I wanted to spend my time.

My wife and I have been riding fat-tire bikes on the beach for five-plus years. The Co-Op DRT 4.1 has taken the experience to the next level. Love the drive train and hydraulic disc brakes. Thanks to REI team members Blake, Charlotte, Craig, and Jake for pointing us in this direction and making it a reality.

Great bike for a great price.

This was my first fat tire bike and I'm pretty happy with it so far. I'm 5'10" and 225lbs and a Large frame fit pretty well. It is quite a bit slower and uses quite a bit more leg power to move, but i expected that. Braking seems decent. Shifting was a bit harsh with how hard it shifts, but isn't a deal breaker. For the money, I was very happy with it compared to other brands.

Hard to beat for the price

Bought this bike when if first came out to replace an old and outdated fat bike. This bike has nice modern geometry and is in line with the current trends. I also bought this bike knowing I would be upgrading parts like the derailleur, shifter, and tires. Had to replace derailleur fairly soon as a stick got caught in rear mech and removed it for me:) Replaced with sram GX and it has been running like a champ ever since! I use this bike in the winter only for riding snowy single track and my daily commute to work. A quick change of tires to suit conditions makes a huge difference in how it performs. It has about 1,000 miles on it and I have been very pleased! The paint does chip easily as you may have read but I see this bike as a tool and i am not too concerned about it.
