There's strong implications in that phrasing that it isn't working for anyone else...Way to shill for the industry there, Tyler.
Lets face it, fat bikes are simple bike without suspension. All the money is in the wheels and tires. Mongoose just scaled the market.
I actually don't get why they went with that solution?
Yes, they're French and NEED to be different - and it probably saves a few grams. But it also makes it a real pain in the ass to do on-track adjustments.
