GuestHey guys, I just signed up because I am looking for a new bike to get. Thing is, I need a heavy duty bike that can handle my weight. I used to ride bikes a lot growing up, but when I got bigger I kinda cut that out of my life. But, I figure now, would be a great time to jump back into it and also lose some weight in the process. Do you guys know of any bikes that are built for heavier individuals?

KeymasterAll mountain bikes are designed to be very durable, the only exceptions being highly expensive racing XC bikes which might have a weight limit on them. Do you mind me asking how heavy you are?

If you’re worried about breaking anything, have you considered trying a workout bike to lose some weight until you feel comfortable? Like Admin said above, most mountain bikes are pretty durable, but I think if we had a definite weight answer, we may be better suited to help you.

I currently weight 385, and I’m 5’9” tall. So not too bad for my height, but still not where I want to be. Do you think most bikes will hold my weight?
September 24, 2021 at 8:04 pm #1623InactiveI think any modern alloy/steel bike should be fine for regular mountain biking, like anything though put enough force through any material it can eventually fail
kSeptember 28, 2021 at 12:54 pm #1624InactiveI can tell you that a good build will hold up just fine. A good bike shop will probably have some great suggestions for you.
September 28, 2021 at 4:07 pm #1625InactiveI was a heavy when I was a kid and teen and most of the bikes I owned held up quite well to my weight. The only ones that didn’t, were cheaply made bikes that had very thin or flimsy frames.

September 29, 2021 at 1:22 am #1626InactiveYou can go for Mongoose Dolomite, it’s a very inexpensive entry-level fat bike. It has 4′ Fat tires which provide good traction and control. The manufactures designed it specially for heavy and tall people. It’s very durable and comfortable to ride too.
September 29, 2021 at 12:28 pm #1627InactiveI believe regular bikes don’t work for people with Bicycle Weight Limit 400 lbs. Regular bikes do have their weight carrying capacity limitations. Though, I am sure there must be heavyweight or heavy-duty bikes specially designed for people above 400 lbs. A local bike shop should be able to recommend you the perfect bike as per your needs and requirements.
September 30, 2021 at 2:04 am #1628InactiveYou can try Mangoose Malus Fat bike. It has 4” wide tyres, i think this is the widest tires available at this price range of £500. It’s sturdy and it’s wide wheel base provides good stability and control. And the frames are made up of quality aluminum.
September 30, 2021 at 8:01 pm #1629InactiveMy dad who happens to be on the heavy side owns a Schwinn S29 Mountain Bike, and he weighs around 20 stone and I bet this beast could hold someone even heavier than that.

It can withstand load of upto 400 lbs. It has 30 speed gears and hidden disk brake that gives it a cool look. It is fairly priced compared to other well known manufacturers in this category.
