So as far as a value proposition goes, you'd get far better performance per dollar as a regular consumer picking something aluminum and reasonably priced up, like the Rocky Mountain Blizzard alloy, and then dropping the big bucks into your wheelset(s). So like the "alloy-bike-with-factory-suspension" builds some companies do, but for fatbikes instead of enduro frames.
I'll admit, I've been a little string-spoke curious the past few months, and an ultra light fatbike wheelset looks like the ideal application. Too bad I don't own a fatbike.
