to go with this, wider tires are faster on a slightly rough hard surfaces becuase they absorb terrain and vibration rather than rattling the bike and rider, slowing you down which occurs with rock hard, rail thin tires.

I would choose a fat/plus bike if I go back there again. Theres also a spot out near BLORA (belton lake) that looks pretty narly like in the video here. but I never tried driving the truck there. I always just rode out there and was way to gassed to actually do anything there besides just ride back to the barracks.

TRUTH.. I spent close to $8K "carbonizing" my Santa Cruz Tallboy LTc - It was the last ride I was going to buy. To make a long story short, I recently purchased the Trek Stache 9. I didn't want to like it. I really didn't - but dammit, now I can't get OFF it, and my Tallboy is in the basement. It is a "Plus" size bike, and it is SO MUCH FUN, I simply can't believe it. Most the videos I've watched are correct; it can be hard to get moving, but when you do, it's like a freight train. However, on a technical climb, it climbs like a goat. On technical downhills, don't bother picking a line - just barrel straight ahead. If you have questions you can ask me. I don't work for Trek, I'm a lowly bar owner. Just do yourself a favor and check in to the Plus size bikes. It ain't hype...

The most interesting part of this video is that a hard tail fat bike was only marginally slower than a full suspension bike.. Do you think if you had compared the fat bikes with some 27.5" hardtails instead the fat bikes would have been beaten them on the descents? It seems to me that a fat bike would have an advantage on rough and technical Downhill over a standard hard tail, and given how close this comparison was I think it supports my hypothesis.

You guys should do a video on which is faster a 27.5 cross country bike or a 29 cross country bike.

It would be very interesting if you do this comparison with a lot of other bikes too. For example Hardtail 29'er vs a XC 29'er fully. And if you would do all the tests on the same track, you could put all the data in 1 tabel so we can compare the bikes easily. To make a comparison like that even more reliable you could add additional data like HF or powerdata.

STEEP DOWNHILL SECTION: Bontrager Gnarwals. Massive knobs, use this on the front and you would have gone much faster than the "normal" bike.

A difference of 41 seconds over 23 minutes sounds like it's mostly that you guys are used to riding on the trail bikes but not on the fat bikes. It would be interesting to see what sort of times you put in after a week's practice on the fat bike.
