^^me too.... someday. Last month was at a bike show/swap, met a seller with a 25 or 26 lbs all carbon fat tire! The rubber is where most of the weight is but that is crazy lightweight for a fatty. Seller described riding it unlike any typical ATB. Different lines thru singletracks and you just charge over everything, far less correcting or steering around small ruts / rocks.
The only fat tire I tried was a budget Origin 8 with the Nuvinci infinite variable hub. Heavy but I liked it. It was chain drive but I understand they also offer a belt drive. The hub worked very well yet a weird sensation how easily the ratios change. Has a cute little indicator. I don't much beyond that or of its robustness.
