For those failing to adjust their "scale" properly, those tyres are [i]Big Fat Larry[/i]s - i.e. 26x4.7" 😛

I wonder if it would actually steer at the insane speeds it looks capable of.. 😯 I think I like it anyway...

I presume it's all been tweaked so the tyres don't hit frame/fork crown at full travel, right...?

Still looks silly, anyone remember manitou (i think) making a bike with super wide rims and sticking mxer tyres on it? early 90s I think.

Rear swingarm looks longer than standard to me to accommodate the tyres. Reminds me of the dirt monsters we hired in zermatt. Lots and lots of fun.

This isn't going to help my argument with my dad: he keeps saying MTBers want to be motorbikers really.

christ, it's so heavy that even a Park workstand can't keep it fully up in the air!

I do like it though. Bet it just goes over anything.

Well, it was only a matter of time... Urgh.

How long until the trend of fatbikes goes away?

Just as soon as they become mainstream. Once Trek, Spesh, Giant and the likes start making them, you just watch the nicheists dump 'em quicker than a hot coal!

Is someone trying to force you to ride one or something.

I wasn't aware it'd got far enough to be a "trend" yet.

I believe it goes something like "Look at me! Look at me!" whilst riding the red route at Glentress
