Animation 29" vs. 26" Mountainbike

Easy install, great to use

why stop at 29? the 48" Singer Extraordinary high wheel bicicle of 19 century (150 years ago) would never stop at any rock and pass all the bumps like non-existent. The 29 folks solve all the problems by using obsolete technology.

Nice graphic animation work

This is misleading. Smaller wheels would travel a longer distance through a hole yes. But your inertia determines the bike's speed. Wheels don't track the ground at a constant velocity like the animation suggests.

La 26 scompare 🤣😂🤣😂

I always go to 26

looooooooooool

If two sleeping pills work good... Then the whole bottle will REALLY help you sleep.

Not mentioned, of course, is the fact that you're trying to churn 8 lbs. of tires around on a bike that weighs 50 lbs.

How about speed time video animation?

Anyone remembering those bikes with the huge front wheels they used in the late 19th century? They must have been far far ahead of us...

Although simplified, i do believe this. I cannot compete with my 29er HT times on strava when i’m riding my older 26er HT. Subjectively it feels smoother, objectively it goes faster.

Классное видео! Инженерная мысль не нуждается в переводе и комментарии!

da notare anche che la 26 è piú stretta e leggera a velocità piú elevate e con raider piú bravi è molto piú agile a superare/saltare gli ostacoli

26 all the way faster acceleration more agile and a lot lighter than 29s

Retarded video lolz

Que tonteria .ahora la 26 de toda la vida ya no srve pa mierda.y cuando saquen la 32 la 29 tambien se atasca .toca vender la idea como sea no?

misleading information

So they only test the attack angle.....what about weight, manuelity, the frame,?????

26 good. From Russia :)

I ride 27.5 wheel MTB, fast in accelaration, good for turnings, but i respect 29ers, it depends on how you manage your stirring, 29er is fine, it's the attitude that sucks. 😜

That's a beginners animation.

29 just don't look OK. I saw one friend once with 29 and he looked like he is riding a tank or a truck, like a... strange animal that was lost and cant find the way back to his natural habitat, like a sea turtle on the highway. And he looked so focused and stiff on that thing like some grandmother. I don't mean to offend anybody. As for the 27.5 is this +1.5 inches so important? Its not like we talking about our dicks right :)

how about 27.5

the 26er getting stuck is very unrealistic. I suppose this video was made with bias.

26er+140+mm travel+2.35-.5 tires+16"frame=???

Newbie went to the shop: tried three bikes on a 10 minutes journey each, disregard sellers opinion and purchased the most comfortable and easy to ride bike. One month later I realised that it is a 29er

Funny how the video is 29 seconds long

kkkkkk

Now show tight technical turns.

Go for 50

Only pussies ride 29"

People think that 29er are stupid, but i think thet they look stupid trying to chase me.

Lets all agree
29ers look stupid.
Only ok if you ride xc
Any bike with travel more than 140mm should be 26er or 27.5.
Ps DH for life

What a bullshit, this animation proves nothing. Just go riding and don´t worry about numbers!

what a pathetic video.... there are a lot of advantages but this videos certainly is sad.. 

I just bought Cube 29er. On a straight road I reached maximum speed of 40 km/h. With a 26 "bike I was not able to drive faster than 35 km/h.

Why settle for 29" then? If bigger is better.... Go for the 29.5" or 30", or even 31"

you need longer suspension on 26 then 29

I wanted one already. Now I really want one.

29ers are the OLD MAN'S BIKE!  Nice and smooth like a wheel chair.

"Eliminating riders influence" - This is pointless, it shows nothing, the rider is the main bit, without a rider they would just fall over!

eso no prueba absolutamente nada, tal vez el desplazamiento de una 26 no sera tan amplio como el de una 29 (obvio) sin embargo las 29 carecen de maniobrabilidad. pesimo video

So the 29er is gay? That just confirms my suspicions. Nothing wrong if that's how you spread your butter. :-)

That proves nothing. You wanna go faster, smoother, better? Stop worrying about numbers and just ride your bike more!

Okay so you have shown us some lame rolling ability of the two wheel sizes. but honestly, I know and so do you, it comes down to the rider at the end of the day not the wheel size. Why is it man has a fixation on trying to make everything easier in this world? What happened to actually working for it? As another posted, I want to feel shit under my tyres, if I didnt I may as well go ride a road bike. Im not against it, just not for me. But I hate it how the industry keep trying to tell us its better, its not. Dont mess with a good thing. 26" has been working just fine for a long time. Marketing hype is just that, hype. People will make up their own mind, and ill stay true to 26" for as long as I can.

El domingo hice 30 km subiendo y bajando por senderos estrechos y pistas con mi Specialized Epic Elite 2011 y la maniobrabilidad  y aceleración que ofrece una 26" no creo que lo consiga una 29", quizá una 27.5"...¡¡¡Larga vida a las 26!!!
