oh, and superlight and dirt cheap 🙂

It's for the new forest area: flinty, muddy and sandy on any ride, any time of year
26" wheels, probably 4" tyre

On One Floater, maybe not the lightest but in fat bike tyres but compered to the price of the rest they are throw away money.

And available in silly colours too

hmmm, when I googled I found quite lot of hate for the floaters - is that unfair ?

(they don't have to be supercheap, as long as they last and don't rip to bits - like nobby nics do round here)

Perfectly good tyre if used within its limitations.

I prefer Nates for winter, but on my 3 season fatbike I have Floaters. Not enough edge lug for riding along greasy cambers, but not as draggy on dry, and hard surfaces either.

And I don't feel bad knocking off a few miles on the road to get to a trail.
