    What a great opportunity! It sounds like a very good group. It seems like the fat tire bikes have such fat tires that a suspension is not necessary.

    It sounds like you found a great group Bethany1, congratulations on having fun! As a member of the, ahem, slower mtb tribe, I just consider it as an opportunity to look at the flowers

    It's a different feel of suspension with the fat bikes because of the "floatation" of the wider tires. It's hard to explain unless you've ridden a fat bike.
