Double forks spanning wheels with more than 9 inches of furiously-treaded rubber (plus a 2,000-watt motor on the frame) make the Rungu Juggernaut the world’s weirdest, wildest fat bike.
If there’s one takeaway from riding the Rungu Electric Juggernaut, it’s that the company gave it the right name. Debuted last year at the Interbike trade show, the ogre-ish super trike looks like a Humvee’s cardio-minded younger brother.
This month, at the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market, I took the floor model on a test ride.
The Utah sun beat down as I clambered over the aluminum frame. I sighted down four steel fork barrels that hold the Rungu’s dual 26-inch x 4.8-inch Surly Buds in line. A similarly beefed up rear tire sat innocently in back, ready to churn out some serious power.
