Kenda
"Kenda has jumped into the fat bike game with the new Juggernaut Sport. Kenda is seemingly still taking a rather tentative approach to the segment, however, as the Juggernaut Sport will only be available in a single 26x4in size with a 60tpi casing and wire beads".
"Looking somewhat like a fat bike sized Small Block 8, the Juggernaut Sport includes ramped center knobs and chevron shaped scoops for traction in the loose stuff. Looking much lower profile than the competition, the Juggernaut Sport is a 26 x 4.0 60 tpi wire bead tire that should excel in hard pack and intermediate conditions."
Maxxis
"Maxxis will have two fat bike tyres this coming season: the 26x4in Mammoth and the 29x3in Chronicle. Both prioritize low rolling resistance over outright grip with very compact centre tread patterns, ramped leading edges, and relatively low knob heights. Both will be offered in 60tpi and 120tpi versions starting this June."
"Entering into the world of fat bikes, Maxxis gave us a look at their new Mammoth which clocks in at 4″ wide. Made with either a 60 or 120 tpi dual compound casing, the tire uses closely spaced center knobs for low rolling resistance. From there the tire runs connected tread blocks to act as scoops in deep snow, followed by aggressive shoulder knobs for cornering traction."
"The Mammoth runs Maxxis’ new Silk Shield puncture protection which is a bead to bead kevlar layer. Designed to be an all purpose fat bike tire, the Mammoth will be right at home on bikes with 135 offset or 170mm rear ends."
Vee Rubber
"Vee Rubber may not be terribly well known in mountain biking circles but the company is certainly banking heavily on the fat bike segment with no fewer than eightdifferent treads for 2015. New models include the 26x4.7in Bulldozer with openly spaced knobs; the studdable 26x4.8in SnowShoe XL with taller knobs to bite into deep snow and mud; the speedy-looking 26x4.25in H-Billie with more closely spaced and lower-height knobs
The new Vee Rubber SnowShoe XL (left) features an ultra-fat 26x4.8in casing in 72 or 120tpi. The studdable version is shown here but there's a non-studdable variant as well. Meanwhile, the 26x4.7in Bulldozer is fitted with a more aggressively ramped centre tread to reduce rolling resistance.
The 26x4.25in Vee Rubber H-Billie is meant for either winter or summer use with its versatile tread pattern."
