Just saw one in the bike rack out side work. Here are some photos.
fyi: I have a Beast and a Moonlander at home (bottom feeder to high end) for comparison.
Looks pretty decent all around. Except for the one issue I see right away are the rims. First, it looks odd that the rear rim has a single line of holes, the front has double holes. Well, the holes in the rims are a problem to me. They will let all kinds of water, mud, slush, etc in if you ever ride the bike in water, snow, mud, etc. The Beast rims are not double wall so drilling holes in them won't cause the same problem. Actually drilling holes in beast rims is rather pointless as they aren't all that heavy to start with. Beast tires and tubes, cranks, rear hub, stem, etc weigh a ton and are better targets for weight reduction. I'd bet these double wall rims are heavier than Beast rims due to more material, even with the holes. And once you fill them with water, mud, snow, ice, etc, they will be far heavier. Well any fat bike rim will collect mud and snow but having go inside the rim is even worse. I think I'd replace the rims if I got one and used it in the winter. I'd go with a solid and smooth rim.
Oh yeah, a presta valve warning for those of you who can't figure them out.
