Ihave noticed a steady decline in the number of 26" MTB's being built by some major manufacturers, particularly in the XC and trail market. The 29er has embedded itself successfully into the MTB so. To confuse things even further, we now have another wheel size: the 27.5" (or 650b). The29 Spectral has an updated frame while the Spectral 27.5 has been around for a few years and a bit more traditional trail geometry. Ripmo af looks like a great BC bike, I see a handful locally. I put a 160mm fox 36 on a Troy Deore and it's a great all around choice. Yeah, that's what I found about the models also. Testrider Aiden Chapin takes flight aboard the EVO 29-inch model. The difference in reach contributed to the unique feel of these bikes. Since the 29er is a bit shorter, you tend to feel more on top of the bike, giving it an enduro feel, while the 27.5er tends to offer more of a downhill-bike feel. When hitting bigger drops and jumps, the Firstup in the comparison of 27.5 vs 29er is cornering and traction. This one is a no brainer because, with more surface area, 29ers are better than 27.5 tires. You can conveniently find the surface area of the TEST Scott Genius 29" vs. 27,5" - cyklistické zpravodajství. #4 purplehaze - vloženo: 22.09.2015 v 15:59:30. Dal som si s komentarom trochu nacas, kedze uz par mesiacov jazdim Genius 720 a nechcel som byt Sothe most relevant wheel size debate is still ongoing—though Steiner speculates that 29ers are likely still faster than 27.5 bikes, which would be close contenders in a similar head to head Thisold chestnut. Again, we’re going to be mildly controversial and say that the difference between 27.5in bikes and 29er bikes isn’t as pronounced as it was back in the mid ’00s. Nowadays you can get 29ers with decent amount of suspension travel (up to 170mm – more for DH) and with decent geometry, so the wheel size debate has fizzled Youdo a 27.5 vs 29er shootout! I wanted to answer two que What do you do when you have two identically spec'd bikes and Coast Gravity Park at your disposal? You do a 27.5 vs 29er shootout! A27.5er will be way more agile than a 29er. I have both and I take the 27.5er way more often to trails than my 29er. For long straight rail trips a 29er is better but that's pretty rare. I would choose a 27.5er in the city as well for a commuter and on the trail as well. Forthat reason, the axle to crown length varies between brands and models. For a more accurate comparison, it’s logical to use models of the same brand designed for 29″ and 27.5″ wheels. For example, the axle to crown length of FOX 34 27.5″ fork is 532mm whereas that of FOX 34 29″ is 550m. This amounts to an 18mm/1.8cm/0.7in difference. Zyd0.
