IMO if you are going for a new fatbike under $2k, the Farley 5 is a good bike to go with. Decent components, good tires, and a good geometry. They have a trail bike feel to them with the short chainstays. If you are spending a little more than $2k, I'd go with the Norco Sasquatch 6.2 rigid. Best bang for the buck. Aluminum frame, carbon fork. Both front and back thru axle. Slightly better components...however, the gearing is big. You'd need to get a praxis works 11-40 cassette for the rear to make it reasonable. the Sasquatch has a good geometry too. Lots of fun to ride. The bike I really like is the Farley 7, but it's above my price point so I'm getting the Sasquatch.
