I have been riding the same track for years now, all on a 26 tho. This week I have swapped to a 29er, to do a direct comparison between the 29 and the 26 wheeled bikes, and how we can make our 29ers even better. With the development of 29 wheels, tires, suspension and bike geometry. Combined with the increasing use of the 29 inch wheel, from fast rolling light weight roady style riders through to DHers bombing bike parks, we need to make sure every possible aspect of refinement of the 29 inch range has been covered. We want to make sure that our 29ers can put a smile on all of the 26 inch fans and the 29er fans, as well as convert some of the ‘haters’. I was a ‘hater’. We want our 29ers to give the rider the best possible ‘ride’, so you ride more, and get your friends to ride more.
