Mongoose Dolomite weight limit
The Mongoose Dolomite 26″ doesn’t have any official weight limit. But, most fat bikes can easily handle big riders weighing around 300 lbs. Arguably, Dolomite can take up to 380 lbs or even close to 420 lbs as per user reviews. So, for basic or casual riding, we can assume that Dolomite can hold weights up to 380 pounds. And with some extra upgrades, you can probably go beyond 400 pounds.
Dolomite is slightly heavy with 52 pounds and can fit riders from 5’6″ to 6’0″.
Sturdy built, durable 17″ steel alloy frame, hard seat post with cushioned saddle, 4″ wide tires, 26″ wheels with alloy rims, perfect geometry, mechanical disc brakes – all these features make Dolomite a good choice for heavy riders. Dolomite is probably the best entry-level fat MTB.
