I've been an avid mountain biker for 20 years and have had an FX for
five. All I can say is that it's one kick ass off road bike. It can
smoke any upright on a twisting downhill single track. It also climbs
very well, though the technique is different. I retrofitted electric
assist to mine, so now it smokes them up hill as well :).

With the low seating and hands and feet forward riding position, it's
also safer -- you'll never go over the bars and you can easily drop a
foot to avoid a spill.

I have used fat, knobby tires on my faired BikeE AT with very good results on rough unpaved roads and gravel rail trails. I don't think I would try it in...
