“The wheel size debate is still as hot as ever, but there is a growing acceptance of 29ers by more progressive riders in the all mountain/enduro community and even the downhill racing crowd. Bikes like the Wreckoning, Hightower LT, SB5.5 and Sentinel throw quite a wrench into the 27.5” scene, with their slacker geo and longer travel that rival many aggressive 27.5” builds. From their XC roots to today, 29ers are clearly here to stay.”
