Product Information

For any wheeled vehicle, tire choice is critical. Intended use, durability, and weight all factor in to what kind of rubber you want on the road (or snowy trail). Indeed, when it comes to fat bikes, tires are arguably the most important component decision you'll make. Width, tread pattern, budget, and the ability to set-up tubeless are all hugely important factors when making a buying decision - and having fun. Here then are some (but certainly not all) of the top fat bike tires on the market today. Rim Width–the rim, which is the circular part of your wheel, comes in different widths which is compatible with certain tire widths – so ensure your rim and tire choice are compatible.

Tire bead is the term for the edge of a tire that sits on the wheel. The edge of the tire, known as the bead of a tire, is designed to sit within a groove on the wheel. When the tire is properly inflated to the correct air pressure (each tire will specify the correct air pressure), the bead slots firmly into that groove. This holds the tire in place on the wheel. Folding bead is a more modern technology that is lighter weight. It is known as a folding bead as without the wire the tire can be folded for transport.Due to their overall size, fat bike tires are never going to be light, but reading the overall weight carefully could make a difference to your riding. Lighter tires roll easier and will save energy over long distances but could compromise on protection, resulting in more punctures. This is a system of tire mounting (to the wheel). All the tires on the list above are clincher. Clinchers are the most common mounting system. You can find more about clincher tires here. Deciding on a tread pattern comes down to how and where you intend to use the bike. As a rule, tires with smaller and slimmer tread patterns tend to roll fast, therefore are more efficient over longer rides but limits traction. More aggressive tires cut the ground and generate grip on testing terrain, which provides more grip when climbing up loose and slippery surfaces or when cornering in mud. Assessing your regular riding locations is a must before choosing your next tread pattern. a) If we have sent you the incorrect bicycle, we will cover the cost of collection and delivery of the correct model.
