26'ers fit in my car better. Therefore they are clearly better in all possible ways.

29er kick ass if you are taller than 180 cms and do not need more than 120 mm of suspension travel.

If you are smaller than 180 cms or need a lot of travel get a 26er.

29er roll better and are more stable. When turning and cornering and accelerating they are as agile and quick as any 26er (with the right stem and bars length and gear ratio). Now, the wheels are heavier (or more expensive for the same weight) and it´s easier to untrue them.

i just tested a 29er and 26er of the same bike last weekend. 29er sucked hairy balls. it was faster on open trails, but the climb was so slow, downhill and technical parts i couldn't stop the bike as quick or accelerate as quick. it didn't want to turn either. 29er has its place, just not with me. they're not as much 'fun' to ride. unless you're a racer, i see no point in buying a heavier, more expensive and less fun bike. plus i smash 29ers on 26, because they can't ride.

What is the band name playing from 0:35?

6 5 0 b - is future!

29er has wider handlebars. Your result is invalid.

[Alexandersvy]

From a consumer perspective, if I am to buy a new bike, I would probably get a 26er that is lighter than the 29er for the same amount of money. A test that compares two bikes that have the same price will be more accurate to what happens in real life. Throwing more money on one bike will make it faster than the other.

Even the camera on the 26er look better hahahha

@labradorsin what camera where u lookin at?

[labradorsin]

Thump up if you think 29er its just marketing! 26er ROCKS!!!!!!!!

[blackdubsociety]

@labradorsin That is all it is, and also other things MTB. You saw Giant with their over drive 2 bullshit. They can market 29 all they want, but I prefer the responsive handling and acceleration of the 26er. And even the most die hard 29er fan can't deny that. I do have a 29, and the more I ride it, the more I feel 29 were intended for the beginner or casual mtber.

when riding the 29er he seemed to be putting in a lot more effort :/

[mrwinner231]

@CrankflipSundayProd of course, there is more bike to move around. but a 29er is still easy enough to handle witch makes its smoothness a better trade off than riding a 26.(thats just me personally)

[CrankflipSundayProd]

@mrwinner231 but i mean if he put the same amount of effort in on the 26 he would of gone faster.

Fuck this shit

Muy bueno ...

Witam chlopaki. Dobra robota z filmem. Tylko interesuje mnie jeszcze 1 rzecz: subiektywne odczucia z jazdy na 29"... czy to tak faktycznie jest ze wydaje sie bezpieczniej i pewniej niz na 26? Ja w tym roku planuje zakup 29tki hardtail (markowej sredniej klasy - ale przy moim wzroscie 1,90m i trasach - glownie traile lub asfalt sadze ze to dobra decyzja. Pozdrawiam.

[TrekGdynia]

@bartlomiejbiernacki zdecydowanie tak. Rower łatwiej się prowadzi i jest dużo stabilniejszy. Jazda jest mniej nerwowa i płynniejsza, przez co jeździ się przyjemniej i bardziej komfortowo.

[bartlomiejbiernacki]

@TrekGdynia Dzieki, wlasnie to chcialem wiedziec. Jutro jade odebrac: TREK Cobia 29 2012 ... powinien byc ok jako 1-szy 29er... ;) jak mi sie spodoba to za 2 lata zmiana na full sus :D. Pozdrowienia.

[morenobatty]

29er forever, se poi con una x-caliber come la mia meglio ancora.

[ecly13]

Try a light downhill course!!

[mtbikeer]
