A picture shows you the mystery of the mountain wheel path

In recent years, the disputes over the mountain wheel diameter have fluctuate, and when everyone thinks that the wheel diameter has settled in the disputes of 26, 27.5, and 29, two new “+” standards have appeared on the market, making the mountain wheel races once again surging. 26, 27.5, 27.5 +, 29, 29 + five mountain bike size for many riders silly can not tell.

The following Xiao Bian uses a picture to show you the difference in the five wheel sizes

The arrival of the fetal era led to the birth of "+" specifications. The creation of "+" fills the gap between the traditional mountain bikes and the fat tires. The "+" specification can accommodate tires between 2.8" and 3.25", while the fat tires are generally 3.25 to 5 inches wide.

The 27.5+ specification that Genesis pioneered caused an uproar in the mountain bike market. Many bicycle manufacturers like Light Trek followed suit and developed and produced their own 27.5+ mountain bikes.

The 27.5+ has the same outer diameter as the 29, but can accommodate 3 inches of tires, accommodates an extra-wide 27.5 rim, can provide a similar passability to the 29er, becomes more powerful with the ground grip, and has no fat tires The bulkiness.

The 29+ is essentially a mini version of a fat tire vehicle. With 29er strong passability, it also has the same patience and traction as a fat tire.

Here are the statistics of five different wheel diameters:
