If they want us to sensor ourselves... they'll need to provide the mtbr community with guidelines. Like many here, my own standard is that it is ok to post anything that isn't illegal.
I questioned a guy who has been riding it about the 32's and he claimed it was stiff. I didn't ride it myself so can't comment. I will take his word for it because of the amount of riding he has done through his career.

That Rockey Mt. bike retails for $2700 with Bluto, Bulldozers, XT rear derailleur, and a bunch of other pretty decent spec parts. Not bad. Wonder what the weight is.
Yeah, this is the first stock fat bike to be released where I would actually consider selling my Moonlander. For the specs that thing is a great price and I would guess will weigh the exact same as what i currently have... but with suspension front.
I can't help but feel the 32mm stanchions will be flexy. They should have adopted the Pike chassis with 35mm stanchions and the charger damper as well.
Time will tell though, it has to get released first.
Someone reported in the other thread that it is stiff.... Lets just be happy that it's not upsidedown then everyone really would have had a reason to hate it lol
It does have some cold weather specific parts available, like seals, but you should probably run a (much) thinner oil for winter.
I'm gonna use my Bluto on my trail/trialish setup fatbike (unstudded Snowshoe XLs on 103s etc), but the rigid fork goes back on that bike for winter, I have no need for suspension on snow, as I usually run pressures in the 1.9-3.5psi range.
The gravel/speed fatbike for this summer (target weight sub 20lbs) will stay rigid, naturally.
a DW 2.75? pure speculation but based upon what fits now i'd venture to say yes.
