Don’t know when I’ve ever said to myself while riding DH, “I wish I had bigger wheels right now.”
looks smooth. I like how they have kept the geo close to a 26DH bike.This should ride really great on a fast flowy wide open trail with lots of rocks jumps and drops.
now this should be interesting………
If there is not way to stop this trend they should have their own races,we have enough trouble with 9ers on xc races,now dh?
I don´t like this. I think it could be good just for races, but not for everyday use.
I don’t understand why everyone is hating on the 29ers. Problem with them in XC? I don’t see a problem, I ride both 26 and 29. Why is it a big deal if you have a different size tire? Its your choice to run 26 or 29. poeple please stop just trying to find something to complain about.
Man seperate races? you guys must just be jealous of their prowness. what about the 6′6″ big guy who feels like 26er wheels are for kiddies on his 23″ frame huh!!!???? they turn like a dream and the increased stability really helps in high and low speed stuff. JEALOUS I SAY!!!
