The gap between fat bikes and mountain bikes is narrowing, this year more than
any in the past. I'm learning though experience that while the fat bike is not
necessarily as efficient on singletrack, it is arguably more versatile than a
regular mountain bike. By that I mean it is capable of riding on a much wider
variety of terrain and not just the extremes of sand and snow. Fat tires hold
traction better in off camber situations – and that is what could be
considered "outperforming" a regular mountain bike.
