45NRTH Dillinger 4 – 26 x 4.0
An update to the original Studded Fat bike tire, the new for Fall 2016 Dillinger 4 comes in 2 new folding versions which are both now featuring the 45nrth tubeless compatible bead. While we haven’t seen versions of this tire yet the info looks very promising. The Dillinger has always been an excellent all round tire. Very low rolling resistance so it’s the choice for racers and has always offered excellent traction in most snow conditions. The only minor complaint could be cornering traction which it looks like they have addressed with this new version with the addition of much more aggressive side lugs. With the new Dillinger gone is the “not inexpensive enough” non folding steel bead 27 TPI version which has been replaced with a folding 60 TPI model which if we compare the 60 TPI Vanhelga should offer an excellent performing winter tire for those on a lighter budget. At $240 with 240 carbide studs (which can also be replaced with the new XL Carbide Studs if wanting a more bite) we expect the Dillinger 4 to maintain it’s hierarchy as the ultimate winter tire.
