[Closed] 27.5 hardtails options.

You will only wish you'd have gone 29...

Kona Explosif 650b, Scott Scale 650b, SC Chameleon with 650b wheels, Saracen 650b.

if I had the cash explosif 650b.......... in raw

Rose bikes just about to launch one and kona has a 2014 cinder cone on the way. Having started on 26 and had many 29ers i am sold on 27.5 🙂

New orange crush

Kingdom Supreme 650 - but I'm biased as I have one.

Thanks guys,I have a Solaris and fancy a happy medium, I was looking at that new Explosif...nice...

I own a 29er ht and demoed a Scott Scale 27.5 the other day. It felt no different to 26" IMHO. 29er I noticed straight away and thought WOW! 27.5 left me feeling meh, there's no real difference that I can see. As I said all IMHO.

I think 650b will work fine for tougher LT hardtails but for moderate 120mmish travel then 29in is still the way to go.
I have a 45650b frame sampling right now. Should get out on it this weekend.

my mate who has the LBS has had a lot asking for 650 HT's (the mags say thats all you can get) the choice will appear in next seasons bikes (which we will be seeing next month probably)

Thanks guys,I have a Solaris and fancy a [s]happy medium[/s], a bike with wheels a lot closer to 26" than 29"

FTFY

Genesis Core is imminent

Really?

Rose bikes just about to launch one and kona has a 2014 cinder cone on the way. Having started on 26 and had many 29ers i am sold on 27.5

genuine question - why? and on a HT compared to a 29er? (happy 29er HT rider myself but thinking of a 650b FS trail bike).

looking on interested here, going to get a 1k (c2w) hardtail soon.
Was sold on the scott scale 960, but maybe wait until the 760 is out.
The mags seem to rave about the 710, but that is their job to encourage all to buy the next new thing.

If you ride a small the Kinesis Maxlight Sync Ti SML is 650b. I have the large 29er, splendid piece of kit.

There is a range of Giant XTC 27.5 hardtails on the horizon. apparently.

The Explosif and 2souls both look awesome, would definitely choose one of those if I was going bigwheel.
