Materials & Construction
Built with a high-tensile steel bead and a rugged casing, the Surly Nate features a 60 TPI (threads per inch) construction that offers a perfect balance of suppleness and puncture resistance. The black, tubeless-ready clincher casing ensures easy installation and reliable sealing when used with compatible rims, providing a seamless transition to tubeless setups for reduced flats and improved rolling efficiency. The tire weighs approximately 1,455 grams, making it durable yet agile for demanding rides.
Performance & Engineering
The Surly Nate’s knobby tread pattern is engineered for maximum grip and control across diverse terrains. Tall, widely spaced knobs with siping enhance traction and compliance, allowing the tire to grip loose dirt, mud, rocks, and other challenging surfaces. The tread design wraps slightly around the sides, maintaining excellent off-camber traction and performance when turning. The aggressive tread profile is tailored specifically for fat bikes, delivering confidence-inspiring performance on varied trail conditions and winter fat biking.

Featuring a folding bead for easy installation and compact storage, the Surly Nate ensures quick setups for your bike adventures. The 26-inch diameter with a width of 3.8 inches (97mm ISO width) provides excellent flotation and stability on soft, loose terrains. Designed for tire pressures up to 30 PSI, this tire excels in maintaining grip and comfort at lower pressures, making it ideal for fat biking, trail riding, and touring.
