Loading...
Uploaded by specialized411 on Jun 15, 2011
Earlier this year Specialized Racing XC racer Christoph Sauser, a dedicated 26er rider, decided to do his own testing on the S-Works Epic 29er to see if there would actually be an advantage for him in the upcoming race season. His results may surprise you!

what about 890er or 950088745426er o.O you can drive straight on in New York
-
But what did pro's race with?
-
with a 29er you gain 11 second in descent, but you will lose all that time and more in ascent! :)
-
how aboutt a big hit with 29 in front and 26 in back?
-
@BoyYummers 29rs dont climb as well as 26rs do but if you go get the new Mountain Bike Action issue that is on stands now they have an article explaining why 27.5 (aka 650b) is a better choice. they climb almost as well as a 26, descend almost as well as a 29 and can be pumped and hucked like a 26 without the disadvantages of the 29r and better rolling resistance than the 26r. check it out its a great article.

The engine is what matters.
-
29 is dead !
27.5 is coming and after 26 will be back.
Big Marketing is watching you.

@trenttyre I would think that too, but why would it be faster? If a 29'er is already going as fast as a 26'er, climbs just as well and rolls over terrain better, and from what tests have proven it's only slightly slower from a start sprint then a 26'er. 27.5 wheels would only be marginally quicker then that and might not perform as well as a 29'er in other areas.

The rims of a 29er arent as rigid/strong
-
what they proved is it doesn't matter is it 26 or 29er.
S-works still sucks!

27.5 would be faster than both of them

Interesting video... but to really convince people of an advantage, a proper test needs to be done with multiple riders over multiple runs. Increase the sample size and then show me the results.
