I think they are hard work, physically. but I'm just guessing. probably in the right conditions they are faster & more fun, but I think under some conditions ppl are surprised at how arduous the ride is. but probably, any bike in those conditions would be difficult to ride. I think the difference is that the trail is "passable" with a fat bike, where-as with another bike, it would be impossible
