Who thinks bird mtb should make rigid and full suspension fat bikes to tackle swinley and also to stand out from the crowd enter your opinions and ideas so we can see how cool it would be

On Fatbikes, investing in that is pretty much a waste of money now as far as I can see. We'd be too late to the party - The FB craze will probably fade in a year or so, and be superceded by plus size, which has the potential to be a long term 'size' much more than fat bikes do.
