Just saw this, fat bikes are all the rage for many with their balloon tires and ability to hall.

Down hill mountain bikers have been using motorcycle tires  and disk brakes for some time. This looks like the right meld of gearing tires and braking. Most mt bike can have disks and bigger tires put on them. The main restriciton being how wide the forks are for the tires.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

This is the bike they ride over in Winthrop and AK in the winter on the trails

No front shocks disappointing me most for design & price tag is $2199, which is about $500 more than I would have expected.

Too expensive for my blood.  If I ride a bike in then stash it.  Then some goober breaks it or steals it.  I would be hugely upset.  If I only paid 400 dollars I would still be made but not as much if I lost 2000 dollars.

Looks cool but $2100? I'll stick with mine. I sure could fix a lot of my roof with $2100.

WAY to expensive for me.  Been beating the hell out of my $500 Mongoose for 5 years now and it is holding up just fine.  $2100 and still does not come with a cart to haul out the game?  Fat tires and a camo dip for an extra $1000?  No thanks.
