Out of the gate, the bike rolls very well on pavement. That’s half of what I run in my 2.4 tires! I was told that 14 psi was a bit too much as it might feel bouncy, so I started with 12psi. With such big volume tire, the recommended pressure goes as low as 10psi. The point of this test ride was more about getting a feel for those bigger tires and the way it rides rather than going into component details. It actually felt comfortable out of the box, however, I would have traded the stem for a 50mm if it were my bike.

It’s built with wide bars, 1×11, avid brakes, and Chupacabra 3.0 tires. The head angle of the bike is fairly steep and the chainstays are short with 420mm on the big wheel size. I had the opportunity to ride the Trek Stache 7 29″+ hard tail, a 2600$ complete bike. Basically, bigger sized or fatter tires on each respective wheel.Īs for most new concepts, rumors travel fast, and it s always better to test and decide for yourself.

The standard wheel size was set to three options, the classic 26″ and 29″ wheel and the most recent 27.5″ wheel sizes.Īs one starts to get comfortable and has dialed-in their bike, it seems the industry has yet again thrown at us two new standards for consumers to play with: the 27.5″ plus and 29″ plus. In recent years the bike industry has introduced new wheel sizes back to back, sometimes confusing consumers what to choose for their use.
