Didn't want to detract from the conversation of the Krampus/Knard/Rabbit Hole. These pics were posted there by jncarpenter and BoogieMang

4.8 Surly Lou

4.8 Surly Bud

I want them both.

Ha!

We both posted pretty much the same thread at the exact same time! I'll redirect here since you have pics.

:thumbsup:

 

[saltyman]

we knew they were due, but what are the due dates for release, fingers crossed its soon!

 

[FTMN]

:eekster:

I really hope someone finds out the weights, costs and ETAs!!!

 

[saltyman]

rumours are early winter for the new surly bike so wonder if its the same with these?

 

[GFisher2001]

Wish fat tires would come down in price before more are released........

Either way, nice to have options

 

[ozzybmx]

Wohoo, new tyres, the "bud" could be a goer here with the tight fast center knobs for hardpack and the spaced side for grip in loose corners.

Was holding out for a BFN (big fat nate)

 

[Velobike]

Just want a studded one too

 

[NEPMTBA]

It might just be camera angle...

...but is the front tire more upright whereas the rear is spread out? Would make since if that was the case, rear drives, front steers!

Thanks

I’m just looking forward to the ride reports on the tires. I ride my 9:zero:7 on technical and non-technical stuff on singletrack as well as fireroads. I am looking for a front tire with just a tad more predictability. Hoping something positive will come from these new developments.

 

[Bearbait]

looks like front & rear specific moonlander versions of the Nate genre. you could do some serious destruction with those!

 

[zombinate]

did 45north announce anything new? I was hoping for an additional fat tire (perhaps the studded one they teased at Frostbike) beyond the Surly stuff.

 

[Velobike]

We're all going to get much fitter pushing those monsters around.

The wife was already shocked seeing the HuskerDu's mounted on the rims ... I wonder what she will think of these and the Knard

 

[saltyman]

The nates on my moonlander, proved themselves as a very useful and do anything tire, especially on sticky ground and boggy terrain.

They worked well on rocks and loose stone trails, both climbing and gave you confidence on the descents too.

Also liked the way they self cleaned themselves.

Will be ordering a pair of these ASAP!

I think 45Nrth said they were releasing something else soon. Surprised they didn't show it with their Q brothers.

I was told to expect more information from then in august.

There's an on-line radio interview of the 45N founder, he confirmed a studded fat tire is coming this fall, November time frame. AFAIK, it's a 3.8" width.

 

[Rabies010]

I'm still hoping they will come out with an even bigger and if possible blacker Floyd.
Or maybe a 29x3 semi slick, that would be nice as well.
