Hi all, has been a while since I posted anything in this and previous threads.
Just want to ask, the current trend is 29 wheels for AM bike? Is 27.5 slowly phasing out already? From what I see, most bike manufacturers' website have like a lot of 29 models but only 1 or 2 models for 27.5 (AM bikes). |

QUOTE(Mavik @ Feb 11 2022, 09:48 AM) Actually the new trend which is slowly emerging is actually mullet designs. 29" at the front and 27.5" at the rear. Look at the new Santa Cruz Bronson which came with mixed wheels and also the Specialized Status as well.  QUOTE(thurtin @ Feb 11 2022, 01:23 PM) 29 and mullet (29 front and 27.5 rear) is the trend for now because thats what the bike makers are pushing. Definitely less new and fancy 27.5 only bikes are coming out now, but parts for 27.5 will be still around for while for sure. I am still on 27.5 and wont be changing any time soon because I got no money. lol. QUOTE(skyblu3 @ Feb 11 2022, 09:46 PM) Usually the 27.5 are for frame size S. But it depends on the manufacturer. I'm way too OCD for mullet configuration. Mullet is still not adopted by the whole bike industry yet right? Have to wait and see how it goes. Now trending is mullet set up Front 29 , rear 27.5  |
