Can a fat bike be fast? If it's the Farley 9.8, then the answer is yes. Buy if you love riding fast in winter conditions and your trails are typically pretty well packed
Incredibly light, nimble and natural-feeling handling on snow, excellent tubeless carbon rims, remarkably fast, great tire clearance, relatively narrow pedal stance width, no suspension
