Actually, this brings up an honest question….what is the purpose of a fatbike? I mean, I get that they’d be fun for singletrack and all that stuff, but most (all?) seem to be single speed, which would limit your terrain choices. So what’s the deal?
Lots of SS fatbikes, but I think most of Surly’s builds come well-geared. The Walgoose is probably a little too heavy for the serious technical terrain, but a lighter (25-30lb) option from Surly or custom carbon builds can go on some pretty gnarly terrain.
Great for snow riding, good on sand (although I’ve learned that the beach I have easy access too doesn’t allow bikes). Here’s a good example: http://www.ericlarsenexplore.com/expedition/cyclesouth
