It's rigid this one, don't know what t weighs but it's light in the hand, surpringly so to me.

My first few rides on my Dune I thought I needed a Bluto. After a month I realised it doesn't need one. Once you drop the pressure and start to relax it works beautifully.

Apart from proper rocky stuff, which blurs my vision

Fatty Trail 28lb - probably without tyres - complete bollox. My titanium framed fatbike with 65mm carbon rims, carbon fork etc is just a little under that. Heavy frame, heavy rims and tyres plus Blutos, more like mid-30s

I thought that my 5 was heavy, but heavier than a fatbike that cost a 3rd of its price?
So can we assume it's heavier than the Trek Farley 9 at 13.98 kg / 30.82 lbs?

I have a pretty much stock Fatty Trail and it's definitely not 28lb. The original inner tubes weighed that on their own.

It is a great bike, though.
