    No idea. I know nothing. But I can make things up…

    It’s called the “bacon torpedo”
    Costs only £3000
    And will be in all good bike shops on Monday.

    I thought the point of the fat tyres was that THAT was the suspension?

    With sus and fat, you can tune the tyres for drive, traction and grip… And then tune the sus for the hits.

    Err, why?
    Fat bike – I see the point.
    Suspension – I see the point.
    Together – I see no point.
