Goggles... knee pads... its #Enduro !!!!

Then again the axle/fork/hub looks a bit different

Its all explained in the history.

 

The Flame that Ryan mentionned was based on a redesign of the SC32 Maverick, and then the Carver and all its rebadged versions are a cheaper copy of the Flame. 

 

its very likely to be a carver/rebadge as SC32 aren't that good and hard to source as not been produced in ages. And Flames are not seen that often and quite expensive(though great forks(I have ridden the prototype))

German:A forks?...

 

Not sure. Details were scares at the fair. It won't be OE on the bike - was done for the fair.

"I bet you never expected to see a guy on fat bike wearing a leader’s jersey. That’s exactly what happened when Jeff Herrera tackled the 22nd edition of La Ruta De Los Conquistadores on his 22 lb Borealis Yampa. There was actually an entire fat bike class at La Ruta which Jeff won, but he also finished just outside of top 20 overall in 22nd place."

 

Marketing spin doctors at their best!   ... Leads you to believe he won the overall race - He's in a leaders jersey OF A FAT BIKE CLASS!!! Haha...

22lbs = 9.8kg. Well, that will definitely help  

 

A lbs here has the Rapid fat bikes. I rode one in the parking lot. Pretty heavy at over 20kgs

@Ryan .... have you tested the On-one as an emergency flotation device yet, never know when you might be crossing a river and you slip with the bike and get carried down stream 

[J∆kk∆ls]

I wonder how much slime you would need for one of these tyres?

a 29+ takes a whole bottle of Stans in each tyre...

4.0" tyres don't slip...

Think slime went out of fashion in the 90s...

 

I'll let you know how much sealant I use when I convert mine too tubeless.
