I just bought my norco bigfoot the day before valentines day as I'd just discovered how much fun fatbiking in snow was.
I was expecting it to be slow and boring to ride a fat bike without snow, but I was in for a shock. it was way more fun than riding my 29er hardtail, and stuff that was challenging on the 29er was no big deal on the bigfoot. those huge tires just roll over roots and rocks like they weren't there.
my son says I'm cheating and using a monster truck on mountain bike trails, because I was rolling over stuff he had to pick his way through.
the biggest surprise was that I could easily outrun him without trying too hard.
I'd still like to get a suspension fork, but one that will fit my tires on 27.5 wheels is as much as the bike cost new. I only find it could be am improvement a few times, compared to how bad riding is on a normal mountain bike without front suspension

Yeah, and if you think they are cheating on the flat, wait until you take it up a technical climb!
It’s like being a little kid again.
Get your kid a fatbike! Bought mine a Heyday! for Xmas and I think he likes it more than his hardtail
Castle Winnie?
Yeah, I’m not out to win races or do tricks. I just want to get out in nature and have fun. Any trail conditions are fine. Dry sand, fallen leaves, mulch, etc are no obstacle. Plus there’s less worrry about damaging trails after rain. Rather than carving out ruts, you’re smoothing them out.
