People I know who live in those places where the snow gets groomed tell me that they can ride their regular bikes faster on those trails than fatbikes, which kinda puts a bullet in that line of reasoning, so I hear ya. I'm scratching an itch that has been gnawing away at me ever since I took someone else's fatbike for a spin in an arroyo down in Baja a dozen years ago. I do not in any way see this as a replacement for my regular bike on regular trails, but more a way to get into exploring some places that don't really have much in the way of trails at all. That, and I wanted a bike with lots of those three-hole bottle mount options.
