Its this reason that 29er forks often come with different offset figures than 27.5in forks. The most common offset for 29ers’ forks is 51mm (compared to 44-46mm for 27.5in forks). But should they? There are some bike brands don’t follow the 51mm-is-best tenet. They spec their 29ers with 46mm offset forks. Specialized and Orbea spring to 29vs 27.5, How do you decide?

The first one you are going to come across is whether to Thebottom bracket heights of 26-, 27.5- and 29-inch designs are about the same, but a closer look reveals a secret that might explain the highly lauded cornering ability of 29-inch chassis. At 12.5 inches, the bottom bracket center is only a half inch lower than the axles of a 26-inch bike, but the bottom bracket is 2 inches below the wheel Ithink that the 27.5+ wheel size platform would be more versatile for everyday trail riding.

BlackHorse944 • 2 yr. ago. Thevast majority, perhaps all, mountain bikes sold today are labeled as having either 27.5″ or 29″ wheels. The label 27.5″ is actually a misnomer, used for simplicity. It is more accurate to refer to it, especially when buying replacement tires/tyres, as 650b. The label 29″ is likewise a misnomer. Anothermyth surrounding 29-in wheels is that they’re only suited for cross country riding. Early 29-in bikes were mostly cross-country bikes with very short travel and aging geometry, suited for smoother trails. For this reason, riders who prefer more rowdy terrain shunned 29ers, favouring 27.5in or even the now almost extinct 26in bikes. Canyonrecently updated their Spectral:ON models, and the Canyon Spectral:ON CF 8 is a versatile trail e-MTB that also happens to be one of the best values on the market.
