The Farley EX doesn't need your snow or your sand- but it'll handle it just fine - while being a dirt and rock shredder with little compromise...
Modern, balanced looks
Full suspension (100mm rear, 120mm front)
Great climbing with 28t chainring
Excellent grip from Hodag tires
Enough braking force
Fun on any trail
KS dropper post slow to rise
Bluto fork could use tokens
35 lbs weight before tubeless

The most mountain bike feeling fat bike yet. Buy if you want one bike for all seasons, or an extremely stable trail bike, and aren't concerned about pure dry trail performance
Impressive rear suspension, has a very mountain bike feeling, wheelies and manuals with ease
Bluto fork overworked, small tire knobs, busted rear rim
