Wonder if they will keep the 26 version around, seeing as how it won the last World Cup by over 1 second, pretty much proving that the hype is just that, hype.
lol, 135, 150, 165, 142, and 157, 9mm, 12, 15, and 20mm "standards" were around before the first 29er existed. So great.
It's nice to see them continue to refine and polish this design. The front triangle has slightly cleaner lines and the bike looks just gorgeous. Even if pinkbike kids are holding out, you gotta make what sells. I wouldn't be surprised to see them offer both or some sort of conversion chip though, SC tends to be fairly smart like that. Or you can just run it with 26" wheels and kidwoo can have his 12.5" bb height.
Even if Ratboy becomes champion, it doesnt change things at all. SC is going force riders to use BRAND NEW SHINY toys before or later because it will sell MOAR. Just add some SHIMZ so JonKranked can have some.
Not that Gee was not riding 650B either.
And skin suits and no helmet peaks is even moar faster but we still don't ride them because it looks moar stupid. Same goes for big wheels.
Hearing about the 650b v10 is awesome news! Lot's of people wanting a v10c will be able to pick up a great deal on the 26" blowout sales and used v10 sales.
