I think it's a good platform, but give Salsa a few years to fine tune it. They need to decide what they want this bike to actually be. If they are going for enduro, slacken the headtube, give more rear suspension travel with a more linear shock rate with an aggressive ramp-up right at the end. If they want it for AM, increase the seattube angle and fine-tune the severe pedal bob.
Pros: Light for a fat bike. Great component spec. Didn't wander and pull front tire on climbs.
Cons: Seat tube angle was too slack. Pedal bob.
