| Upgrades from 2008 |
New model for 2009 |
| REASONS TO RIDE A 29er |
Larger diameter wheels roll over obstacles more easily due to decrease in approach angle |
Larger wheels have a lower rolling resistance for the same tire width |
Larger wheels are less prone to sinking in mud or sand |
Larger contact patch increases cornering traction |
Larger wheels are less prone to pinch flatting |
The 29’er geo offers taller riders a more natural frame geometry |
