Can't be that bad surely??.. Can't see cube (who tend to do well at speccing bikes) putting a crappy unusable Dropper on a £2300 bike??
Yup I know reverbs best.. But.. It's gotta be half decent??

Sounds like someone is going to be outside a closed bike shop 8am Saturday morning, pawing forlornly at the door with a pitiful look in his eyes!

Or at least I would be if it was me... 😀

IME if you ride mud on a fatbike like you do a regular MTB, it probably ain't gonna come out too well i.e. come in fast and give it beans. Come in steady, keep power-delivery even and let the tyres do their stuff. My local bridleways can get churned into a hub-deep morass that will swallow a normal-width tyre whereas my fatbike I simply ride over the top. With big tyres, you can ride slippy off-camber stuff and over logs and rocks and sometime stay out the big pools that get the heavy churn. Step-off and you'll be over your ankles!

Nothing can prepare you for how bloody massive the tyres are until they're in your living room...
