A Fat-Tire Hub-Motor Revolution: Meet the Beast

Olive green ultra-fat hub-motor HPC Revolution e-bike with 4.8-inch tires and DH suspension

Every so often we build something just to see how far we can push it. This is one of those: a limited run of ultra-fat, hub-motor Revolutions. In the clip, this olive-green monster sits on the pavement, 4.8-inch tires and all, with one question on screen: “What should we call this BEAST?”

And the spec sheet is exactly as wild as it looks — full DH suspension, 4.8″ fat tires, and 10kW of power, just for starters.

What makes this one special

  • Ultra-fat 4.8″ tires: Maximum float and traction over anything soft or loose.
  • Full downhill suspension: Built to plow through the roughest terrain at speed.
  • 10kW hub motor: Massive power from our in-house hub-motor platform.
  • Limited run: A small batch of these beasts — the kind of project that shows what’s possible.

We asked our followers whether we should offer these more widely — and the response was loud. It’s the kind of build that blurs the line between fat bike, downhill rig, and pure adrenaline machine.

Explore the platform behind the beast

This build draws on two things we do best: our hub-motor Revolution X and our fat-tire Revolution AT. See the whole family in the Revolution lineup and our full electric bikes collection. Building your own fat setup? We stock the Maxxis Minion 26 x 4.8 fat tire.

Should we build more?

If a fat-tire, hub-motor Revolution beast is something you’d ride, let us know — and explore what’s available now across the Revolution lineup.
