Back in 2016, we compared regular 27.5-inch wheels with 27.5+ wheels, which back then ranged from around 2.75 to 3 inches in width. Nowadays, the differences are not as great as they were before, since the regular 27.5-inch wheels now often come with 27.5 x 2.6-inch tires, offering a compromise between the two choices.
29” or 27.5” wheels The Bobcat Trail has a growing wheel size strategy for the best fit and performance with the choice of 27.5” or 29” platforms on the size M, 27.5” wheels on sizes XS and S, and 29” wheels on sizes L, XL, and XXL.
Microchip’s GMICP2731-10 is a Ka Band MMIC power amplifier fabricated using GaN SiC technology. It achieves. 39.5 dBm saturated output power from 27.5 – 31 GHz, with 22% PAE and 22 dB small signal gain. The balanced topology provides excellent broadband input and output match to 50Ω and DC blocking capacitors ensure simple integration.
Now the thing is 27.5+ which is basically the same dia as 29er. People are just resistant to change. I think if your coming into mtb fresh you will love it, if your coming from a old 26 then maybe the jump is too big so people want to go 27.5 for a while, then they will eventually be more comfortable jumping to a 29.
Simply put, a 29er offers more speed, efficiency and stability, while a 27.5-inch bike offers a snappier trail feel. So unless you are particularly tall or small then the choice of wheel size very much depends on the trail you ride and your personal preference for the ride feel.
