Maxxis Minion FBR
Best rear tire for fat bike riders seeking maximum winter trail traction.
This tire brings the aggressive, proven handling of a trail bike to the oversized world of fat biking. While it sacrifices some of the pure float you might expect from a massive tire, you gain incredible cornering bite and climbing traction that makes heavy rigs feel surprisingly nimble.
