45NRTH Concave Studs

Standard studs are typically flat or pointed, which can slide on hard ice. The concave design features a bowl-shaped carbide crown with sharp edges that bite into the ice surface, effectively doubling the contact points and providing significantly more grip.

Yes, these are designed to be installed using the 45NRTH stud insertion tool. Using the proprietary tool ensures the studs are seated at the correct depth and angle, which prevents them from pulling out while you ride.

These studs are designed for tires that have pre-molded stud pockets. They are not intended to be drilled into tires that do not already have the designated mounting holes.

Each pack contains 300 studs. Depending on your specific tire model and the number of stud pockets available, 300 studs is generally sufficient to fully equip a pair of fat bike or mountain bike tires.

No, the aluminum base is corrosion-resistant and waterproof. It is specifically engineered to withstand the harsh, salty, and wet conditions common in winter riding without degrading.

While the carbide tips are extremely durable, riding exclusively on dry pavement will accelerate wear on the studs and can be slippery. They perform best when used on ice, packed snow, or mixed winter conditions.
