Fatbikes are polarizing, especially for our kids. But are they any good for lightweight shredders? We find out with the Specialized Fatboy 20.

Featherweight fat bike with a hefty price tag. Buy if you’re looking for a worthy fat bike for endurance racing
Lightweight frame and wheelset, supple tires that perform well on hardpack/groomed trails
Pricey compared to the competition, long chainstays
