Which still leaves it in a niche, because a fatbike is pretty damn good at a short list of things, and pretty terrible at everything else-- which can be said of most other bikes as well. This is the same reason you don't see bike messengers on fatbikes (unless maybe it's
really snowy) or guys doing crit laps on DH rigs.

He should have gone with a picture of a trophy truck, which has

huge tires to go with 30-40" of suspension travel. Oh, and 800 horsepower. Lookit those teeny wheels!
