45NRTH releases new front and rear fat bike tires

Published March 10, 2015

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (BRAIN) — 45NRTH is expanding their fat tire offering with the release of two wide and aggressive tires, the Flowbeist and the Dunderbeist.

The Flowbeist is intended as a front tire. It has a  4.6-inch footprint and is compatible with a wide range of frames and forks. Chamfered front edges on center lugs reduce rolling resistance, while perpendicular back edges promote braking traction. Repeating pairs of 8.3mm shoulder lugs with gussets and hollow centers deliver cornering traction.

The rear-specific Dunderbeist is also designed on the 4.6-inch casing. Its tread pattern’s perpendicular front and back edges provide braking and acceleration traction while still rolling fast. Center treads have cavities to create elasticity and increase the number of edges for grip. Lateral grooves on the shoulder knobs enhance stopping and acceleration power while 7.4mm side lugs with fore-aft grooves double the number of edges for cornering stability. 7.8mm shoulder lugs with gussets and hollow centers provide stability in extreme cornering.

Both tires are built on 45NRTH’s tubeless-ready bead.

They will be available starting in April with full availability in September and will retail for $140 MSRP.
